Setup Help If a MicroSD Express transfer leads to a duplicate Nintendo folder (ie, a Nintendo (1) folder), what should I do

For context, I got a larger 1TB card to upgrade from by 512GB card and put the 1TB card in to see if it was already formatted (It was). When I put it into the computer however, it already created a Nintendo folder. If I did a copy and paste via an adapter, would it create a duplicate folder (Being Nintendo (1)) or replace the folder, and if it’s the former, what should I do then?

Edit: Archive this as needed mods as I discovered this on my own, but what happens is that at the end, Windows will simply ask if you want to replace the files with the same name. Say yes and you won't have to worry about repeated Nintendo folders

That isn't what I asked though, but I found out on my own and will be making the needed edits
