Can someone please explain how virtual game cards work when I upgrade to switch 2?

Hi all,

For my birthday next month I thought it would treat myself to a switch 2 upgrade. I have a ton of digital games on my back log and since the virtual key card update I’m looking online how it works when setting up a new switch console. Unfortunately all in reading is complex actuation deactivation and 14 day borrowing without any specific answer.

To be clear, I can’t just use my Nintendo account in the switch 2, download the games and authorize the game cards on the new switch 2? Is that possible or do I have to jump through the hoops of manually transferring the licenses to my switch 2?

Just wanted to be clear on the process for when I get it I can just download what I need and start managing those.

I also won’t be getting rid of my original switch right away just in case the process is smoother between two linked consoles.

Anyway sorry for the long post just wanted to know I appreciate any help you can throw my way!
