To connect a Nintendo Switch to a PC, you can use these methods:
Dock and Capture Card:
Place the Switch in its dock and connect the dock’s HDMI output to a capture card like Elgato.
Plug the capture card into your PC via USB.
Use capture software (e.g., OBS Studio) to view and record gameplay.
USB-C for Charging/Data: If you're using the Switch for transferring screenshots or videos, connect it directly to your PC using a USB-C cable, then navigate to the media folder.
Note: The Switch cannot natively display games on a PC without a capture card.
