How To Set your Nintendo Switch as PRIMARY Console [FIX Checking If This Software Can Be Played]

what if u lost ur primary

I can’t register my switch lite as my primary console because the button is grayed out

What if you only have one switch!! I can't even deregister the one I'm holding

I factory reset my old one and sold it 🤷‍♂️ the checking to see if this game can be played is annoying asf can I still fix it some other way?

thank you, your video helped me a lot

How do I do this if I no longer have the primary console? Is it even possible?

Legend

What If I don't have my old console???

Im gonna give a like but something didnt help me because my first console data was deleted and couldn’t resign in so I bought a other switch and couldnt register

I dont have this option, I cant deregister through website and I dont even use other console by my one and only console is not my primary console. Do you know how to fix this problem?

it worked thx you so much

It works in only one console?pls answer

So i'm getting the same message on my Primary Console. What do i do then?

I got a family membership ao my lid could use the software i have on my system on her switch lite, but she cant play any downloaded ganes or dlc on her system. Is there a way around this?

On the old switch it won't let me play my games unless I'm online how can I get rid of this?

Can you do this without the original Switch though?

… my old switch is broken

I got a question if I deregister my old Nintendo switch console if I sell the old switch can I register the new Nintendo switch oled will my redownload games will be there on the new switch oled?

I bought a used switch and it says that another console is registered as the primary one, but I don’t know who owns said primary console. What do I do here?

I only have 1 nintendo switch and at first it worked fine but now it shows this message and tried this method to solve the issue please if someone knows what to do pls tell me

for some reason it wont let me play games offline even though im using the primary console and never even owned another switch to begin with.

Wait to understand.. my secondary console can only played if I'm online even if the game is not an online game?

Thank god your a LIVESAVER

Anddd, let’s set one of your two black screened, what then…?

Just to be sure: you can Switch your primary console as many time as wanted, with this method? I bought a Switch Lite for bringing on trip, and keeping my main Switch at home. So by giving primary console to Switch Lite, I could play all my digital games offline, then coming back home and giving back primary console privileges to my main Switch? Sorry if my question is complex, but any answer is appreciated!

This is dumb as fuck, when on a Playstation all you have to is just log in your psn&assign the playstation... fuck Nintendo, sticking with Xbox, PS&PC

Thank you

Thank you!

I dont have my old switch

I have alot of Pokémon sword data on the one I want to register, will I lose that Data?

love you dude thank you

Bro thank you so much. You have no idea how much this has been making me mad.

What if you don’t have the switch thats primary

thank you

What if my first switch broke and I didn't get to do this what do I do now

I couldn't even find the primary switch option toggle thing, that why I came here! Anyways, thx

Bless up 🙏🏽

Thanks I just switch oled and wondered how to fix this thanks

Thank you very much !!

Thanks I just got my switch oled for Christmas which I’ve been wanting for a while. This video really helped! Also I was just wondering if you knew what would happen to my videos and screenshots if I put my micro sd card into a new switch after already haven’t videos and screenshots on it. Sorry if I made it confusion.

I’ve been dealing with this issue for over a fuck*n year and you easily explained the fix MUCH better than Nintendo themselves did. And you did it in less than 2 min. Thank you! You are a Saint!

My old switch completely broke like it black screened forever as it is no longer functional are there ways to register another without the old switch?

Cheers for the simple quick and easy and no fuckin around

Thanks pal!

I sold my old Nintendo to GameStop. Now what?

This really works thanks
