Is there a way for connecting Nitendo switch to PC and transfer the games to the Nitendo HDD?

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.

To connect a Nintendo Switch to a PC, you can use one of the following methods:

1. **Using a Capture Card**:
- Connect the Nintendo Switch to the capture card using an HDMI cable.
- Then, connect the capture card to your PC via USB.
- Use software like OBS Studio or any other capture software to display the Switch screen on your PC.

2. **Using the Switch as a Controller**:
- You can connect the Joy-Con controllers or the Pro Controller to your PC via Bluetooth or USB cable to use them as a controller in PC games.

If you want to use the Switch as a display, the capture card method is the most common approach.
