If the system you are transferring to has been set up or has any preinstalled software on it it will be deleted during the transfer process. There is no way to save it other than transferring this system to another. If the system was setup under the same nintendo id you may be able to redownload it but otherwise it is lost. I upgraded to a larger SD card before setup and transfer. I replaced the existing one in the system before i turned it on for the first time so i wouldnt have to worry about it.

Remember that regardless of what kind of system you transfer to the target system will be completely wiped of all data in the process and your old system once transfered will be left completely wiped. No old data will be left behind from the previous user. Make sure that if you have any questions about specific data to refer to the nintendo website and follow and read all prompts. If you have internally saved games (digital) that you obtain the save data transfer tool as well (my video does not cover this).

When it comes to game save data you need to also download the save data transfer tool. My video does not make mention of this and i have never used it. If you have followed prompts and have the correct sd cards inserted in your systems it shouldnt have issues transferring the games itself, keep in mind that save data specifically requires the use of that other program. If you complete the transfer without using that you will have access to the games but your data will be lost. If its just the games themselves you're concerned about. You dont actually have to transfer them. If they are linked to your nintendo ID then once you have completed your transfer you can just go to the eshop log in to your nintendo ID and redownload the software. Outside of that. If you're having issues or errors like it seems you have been i would reach out to nintendo customer suport.

If youaretransferring datathatneeds an sd cardyou will need an sd card in the new system. Its always wisero have an sd card in place as there are some system items and other functions that use it. The system is sold new with one and 2nd hand retailers should also be selling it with an sd card as well cause it is basically a required item. Im not sure what youd be able to do if you didnt have one.

Hi jason olsen, I need your help. How can I transfer all the software licenses from my old 3ds to my New 3DS XL? Because I found out at one of the websites says that it will wipe (transfer) everything out of the 3DS console, except the licenses (Software licenses) which it makes me nervous. Also, I think that Software Licenses were important to me, because it makes to redownload and play these games well again. Think you can tell me how to do it? I was meant to do a transfer between old 3DS console and New 3DS XL Console. Although there is an option: "Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer" which makes it transfer all the software licenses. But I also want to know if there is an alternate method of transfer all software licenses instead of using the Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer as well. Please Comment Me Soon. See You Later.
@giantjaz

When you transfer data from an old console to a new the old system will be wiped. Software licenses move with your profile. Once youve completed the transfer to the new console you can redownload your spftware frol the eshop without any hassle as long as youve signed into the same nintendo id that was on the old console. Please remember that transferring to the new system will wipe anything that was on it. If it was blank in the first place you're fine. But remember you can not merge data during a transfer. Follow the prompts and use the sd card transfer only if that method suits you. If not you can always just redownload the software once youve completed the transfer. Also i do not talk about this in my video but of you have save data from digital games on your system you will need to download and use the save data transfer tool from the eshop before you transfer your profile. In the end licenses are attached to your profile. As long as you have access to that you have access to your licenses. There are no alternative ways of transferring.

My current SD card is perfectly fine for use as it is. Can I do the transfer to the new system while keeping the same SD card as before?

Sorry if this answer gets to you too late, and i also hate to give bad news but regardless of what youre doing in the case of the transfer you do always need a new SD card. Usually if you pick it up new itll come with a small one in it but depending on where you got it from used it may not have included this. You can use a PC to copy the files from the card you want to keep but sadly you need an SD card big enough to hold it all and put that back in the system youre going to transfer from then you can insert your now wiped SD card you want to keep into the new system you're using and then transfer with confidence. I hope that no matter what happens you are able to work something out. I do agree it sucks to have to buy another card though when ultimately you prolly wont need it omce the transfers done. I

It turns out that I don't need to buy a second SD card because I accidentally misunderstood "System Transfer" as transferring both system and SD card data to the new system and the new SD card but that was wrong because I ended up putting the new SD card in the 2DS and transferred the system data, than when the transfer was complete it asked me to remove the original SD card from my old 3DS and into the 2DS and once I read that, that was the moment I realised that I didn't need to get a new SD card at all.

In recent comments youll see that i made mention of obtaining a save data transfer tool. My video does not cover this. If you have games saved directly on your console you will want to use this to keep your save files. I do not know aboit that program so i cant answer questions. I would refer you to nintendos website and to follow and read all prompts carefully. Rwgarding the pokemon, if you have the game downloaded onto your consolen and you use the save data transfer tool everything will move. If you have a cartridge game you have no worries. Regarding themes those will transfer throught the normal process, if they dont when you log in to the same eshop account you can redownload them easily. Remember, any questions you have outside what ive said and on my video please go to nintendos website for additional answers.

You will have to use the profile transfer option once you have both systems and select the option to move everything including the sd card.

Thats really only needed if you're going from an older large SD card to a micro.

It may depend on the type of sd card the 3ds you're transferring to uses as older systems use a standard sd cand and new 3ds uses a micro. The information is usable but you may need to double check choices and make sure you have the right sd card before transferring. If the sd card changes you can install a larger one before transferring and have the system transfer to the new sd card for you i believe. Be aware save data needs the ssfve data transfer tool which i do not show here.

So quick answer is that you can transfer to and from any 2DS/3DS system as they are all essentially THE SAME SYSTEM. The important thing to keep in mind here is that if you are trying to transfer a 3DS profile to a 2DS you will LOSE EVERYTHING ON THE 2DS. The 2DS will be REPLACED BY EVERYTHING ON THE 3DS. This would happen if you reversed the systems transferring. The only way to obtain all of the items on the system youve deleted again would be to make sure you can log into the same nintendo ID from the system after transfer and redownload them. I say this as i have done transfers from all systems to another during the coirse of its life. My last transfer was what i recorded. 3ds xl to new 2ds xl.
