    Is there anyway to avoid the "select account" popup whenever I start a game?

    I only have the one account on it, so can it not be set as default?

    Yep, go to: System Settings>Users>Skip Selection Screen "On"

    Set this today and I now see how quickly games load up on the Switch Lite. Didn't notice this before as there were so many clicks involved in starting into a game.

    It was a minor annoyance beforehand, but I didn't realise how much it detracted from the overall experience. Strange why they have this enabled by default.

    I recall on my Xbox 360 it only showed the "Select account" screen once more than one account was on it.

    Interesting. The Switch Lite could in theory be a portable fitness device too :)

    I'm going to be getting Cidonalad a Switch Lite for Christmas, along with Pokémon.
    How easy is it going to be to set it up with the sub account from my primary Switch and let him have access to those games that live on it?

    I watched this video in the last week.

    This would be better for you to watch though, as it's more concise and just about the Switch Lite.

    The first 3:40 cover your question I think.

    Thanks for that.

    I'm probably going to set the Lite as the primary device, as the regular Switch is always online.
    And even if I take it out and about, I'll just use the phone as a hotspot to confirm the games before playing.

    It's a massive hassle to be sure though.

    We are running two and have set the lite as the main account. The mistake I made was transferring account, not copying so all the digital games on the OG stopped working. Main account on both now and it's all grand.

    So, the account structure is the same on both consoles, with the lite as primary?
    Excellent.
    Might be some setting up to do but should be fine.
    No need to worry about saves as he will exclusively be using the Lite for his gaming.
    Now to save the pennies and cents
