#### Section III - System Transfer
1. **Backup every file on both 3DS's SD cards to two separate folders on your computer (keep track of which is which)!**
1. Reinsert each SD card back into their corresponding 3DS
1. If **the target 3DS** has a Nintendo Network ID on it, you must format the device using System Settings:
+ Go to the last page of "Other Settings" and select "Format System Memory", then follow all instructions
1. Read the following:
+ Your CFW 3DS = the source 3DS = "Source System"
+ Your Stock 3DS = the target 3DS = "Target System"
+ **Move DSiWare titles if prompted!**
+ Do **NOT** delete the source system's SD card contents if prompted
+ Make sure neither device's battery dies during the transfer
+ **Old 3DS or Old 2DS (source) to New 3DS or New 2DS (target) only**: if asked which method you wish to use to transfer the SD card data:
+ **Do NOT** choose the "Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer" or minimal option (option 2), it will only transfer tickets and likely will not transfer the DSiWare save.
+ Fast Method: If you have the ability to move the data from the SD card (source) to the microSD card (target), when prompted use the "PC-Based Transfer" option (option 3).
+ Slowest Method: If you don't have the ability to move the data on a PC use the **full** "Wireless Transfer" option (option 1).
1. Go to [this link](http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/227/) and follow Nintendo's official instructions for System Transferring from one system to another while keeping in mind what you just read
#### Section IV - Restoring the source 3DS
1. On **the source 3DS**, complete initial setup
1. Do one of the following
+ Do the rest of the sections and then the full guide on **the target 3DS**, then wait one week *(do not restore your NAND backup before system transferring)*, then System Transfer from **the target 3DS** back to **the source 3DS** *(remember you cannot transfer back from a New 3DS or New 2DS to an Old 3DS or Old 2DS)*
+ Call Nintendo and tell them you no longer have access to the device that your NNID is linked to (which is **the target 3DS** in this case), and would like it linked to a different device (which is **the source 3DS** in this case)
+ You can also just [remove the NNID](godmode9-usage#removing-an-nnid-without-formatting-your-device) from **the source 3DS** if you'd prefer it remain on **the target 3DS**
