Why can’t i move games to my SD card Switch? You have to “Archive” the game (which essentially deletes the game from the internal storage and keeps the save data untouched) and redownload the game from the eShop in order for it to be “moved” to the sd card.
Games can be played directly from the SD card without transferring to the system memory. I think you are confusing transferring data to the SD card and “Archiving” they aren’t the same thing.
You don’t lose data and you don’t need to redownload. Copy the content on the old SD card to a hard drive and copy it back to the new SD card. Don’t modify the files in any way. Yes, you can just redownload the games if that works best for you.
Archiving games and applications on your Nintendo Switch will free up storage space on the console, but it will not delete the data from the SD card. If you replace the SD card with a larger one, you will need to re-download any archived games or applications in order to access them.
From the HOME Menu, select System Settings, then Data Management, and then Transfer Your Save Data. Select Send Save Data to Another Console, then select the user whose save data file you wish to transfer. Select the save data file for the software title you want to send to another system. Select Send Save Data.

*Caution. Your save data will be deleted on the source console. *Save data is stored on the console you’re currently using. In order to play games with your latest save data on multiple systems, you’ll need to transfer the save data each time you use a different console.

The slightly larger screen and vibrant colors make playing in handheld mode even better, but if you already have a Switch, it may be hard to justify the upgrade. If it’s your first time buying a Switch, it’s definitely worth considering the OLED model, but only if you plan on playing in handheld mode.
Yes, it is possible to use multiple microSD cards on a Nintendo Switch. The Switch has a microSD card slot that allows you to insert a microSD card to expand the device’s storage capacity. To use multiple microSD cards on a Switch, you will need to insert each card into the microSD card slot one at a time.
Can you download Nintendo Switch games from a cartridge? No. When you get a cartridge, you are purchasing a physical copy of the game and the base version of that game, without any DLCs or add-ons or updates. It cannot be downloaded to your Switch.
Once the card is in the new Switch it will want to format it. Once the old card is formatted on the new Switch, copy those files back to the card. Just to be safe than sorry, if possible and if you have a hard drive on a PC or laptop with enough memory, copy the card to that.
Depending on what you use your SD card for, yes. A lot. For example, the Nintendo Switch has limited storage, and getting an SD card can let you install more and bigger games. Any SD card will help, but the faster the card, the quicker those games on it will load.
To redownload the game, launch the Nintendo eShop using the Nintendo Account that originally purchased the game, select your user icon in the top-right corner to access the shop settings, and highlight Redownload. Select the game in the list of previously purchased titles, then select the orange icon to redownload.

No. Per the Nintendo Account Agreement and Nintendo Network Agreement and Privacy Policy, your Nintendo Account and/or Nintendo Network ID (NNID) can’t be transferred or sold to another person.
Your games are tied to your Nintendo account, so logging into it on your new console should give you all your games. However, save data is saved to the SD card or hard drive, not the account (some games support Nintendo Online cloud saves, though).
Log in to your Nintendo account on your new Switch and make it your primary console. When you do so, the games you have played previously should appear on your new console. Select the games that you have previously bought with that account and they’ll start to download. Once complete, job done.
