			= Extra: Restoring H&S =

			As part of your menuhax-based setup, you may have injected FBI into the Health and Safety application on SysNAND. If you still have this left over after migrating your setup, do the following:

			# Open FBI
			# Navigate to Titles, then select the red title named FBI
			#* You can do a web search of the title ID displayed to ensure that it actually is Health and Safety that you're deleting
			# Select "Delete title"
			# Exit FBI
			# Open System Settings
			# Navigate to "Other Settings" -> last page -> "System Update"
			# Follow the prompts to update the system
			#* This will reinstall Health and Safety from Nintendo's servers
			# After rebooting, Health and Safety (the exclamation mark icon) should be back to normal

What you should do with a menuhax-based setup depends on whether you have any content on the menuhax-based setup that you would like to keep.

<tabber>
|-|Start fresh=

A menuhax-based setup has everything on the SD card, so deleting everything from the SD card will effectively result in starting fresh. However, menuhax-based setups use an EmuNAND that stays on your SD card as a separate partition, so we'll need to do a bit of extra work to get rid of it.

{{info|You'll need your operating system's equivalent to administrator access to do this, so public or organization-managed computers probably won't work. If you don't have access to a computer where you can get administrator access, you can [[3dsguide:index|install custom firmware]], back up your SD card files, [[3DS:GodMode9_Usage#Format_an_SD_card|use GodMode9]] to format your SD card, then restore your SD card backup.}}

== Section I: Repartitioning SD card ==
=== Windows ===
# Press WIN+R to open the Run prompt
# Type <code>diskmgmt.msc</code>, then press ENTER
# Figure out which drive is your 3DS SD card, then right click a partition and click "Delete Volume"
#* Repeat this for every partition on the SD card until you see one giant block that says "Unallocated"
# Right click on the unallocated block and click "New simple volume"
# Click through the prompts until you are prompted to select a filesystem, then select "FAT32"
#* If your SD card is 64GB or larger, select "exFAT", then follow [[Formatting an SD card]]

== Section II: Installing custom firmware ==

Now that your EmuNAND has been deleted, you can install custom firmware as you would on an unmodified console. Your SysNAND was probably on version 9.2.0, so that means following [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(soundhax)|Installing boot9strap (Soundhax)]].

{{success|Your setup has been upgraded!}}

|-|Keep everything=

It is possible to copy all EmuNAND content to SysNAND, effectively transferring everything from your previous setup to a modern one. Keep in mind that your homebrew applications are likely to be very out of date or may not even work, depending on how they were created.

== Section I: Removing menuhax ==
To install a modern custom firmware, we'll first need to remove menuhax. This'll render your current setup temporarily inaccessible, but don't worry - everything is still on the SD card.

# Power off your device
# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Navigate to the <code>/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/00000000/</code> folder on your SD card
#* You probably have multiple ID0 folders, so just do this same process for both
# Delete the corresponding folder for your 3DS region:
#* USA Region: <code>000002cd</code>
#* JPN Region: <code>000002cc</code>
#* EUR Region: <code>000002ce</code>
# Reinsert your SD card into your device

== Section II: Installing custom firmware ==
Now that menuhax has been removed, you can install custom firmware as you would on a stock console. Your SysNAND was probably on version 9.2.0, so that means following [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(soundhax)|Installing boot9strap (Soundhax)]]. Once you're done that page, STOP and come back here (you won't brick if you continue to Finalizing Setup, but you'd waste a lot of time).

== Section III: Move EmuNAND ==
After a modern boot9strap+Luma3DS-based setup has been installed, you can move your EmuNAND contents over to SysNAND. Follow the instructions on [[3DS:Move EmuNAND]].

{{success|Your setup has been upgraded!}}

|-|Keep some things=

You can selectively back up certain data using your menuhax-based setup:
* You can make 3DS save data backups with {{GitHub|J-D-K/JKSM/releases/tag/12%2F20%2F2018|an old version of JKSM}}
* ...

Once you've backed up what you want to keep, follow the "Start fresh" section as normal.
