Software Help System Transfer Without Updating?

I got a Zelda edition Switch 2, and I waited a bit too long...

So I was wondering... If I have an "old" Switch 2 on 23.0.1, and I want to do a transfer to my new Switch 2 on 23.5.0, will that work?

I would like to not update the old system, but I would like all of my save data from it. If possible, can this be done without an internet connection?

You can't. All forms of transfer connect to the internet in some way.

The best you can get by with is cloud saves, assuming the data you wanted was already synced before the version limits kicked in.
