I recently got a micro-SD card to expand the storage of my Nintendo Switch but I can't seem to find a way to transfer the games I already installed to the card.
First I tried going to settings and then data management, I can see the micro-SD card here but there doesn't seem to be any option to transfer the game data to it.
I couldn't see anything else in the rest of the settings so I tried the options on the game tile and there was nothing there either.
Then I decided to try and download a game I had previously deleted to save space. The download started normally and was stored on the micro-SD without any issues or options to choose where I wanted it. I did have enough space for it to be on system memory if I wanted it to be there so I found it a bit odd that there was no choice.
Based on the above I could just delete the games I have and re-download them onto the mirco-SD but this seems unnecessarily slow. I would also have to take the micro-SD out if I wanted something installed on the system memory.
Is there a way to transfer games between the system memory and the micro-SD card without re-downloading them?

In v10.0.0, it is now possible to move data between the internal system storage and microSD card without having to go through the hoops provided in the previous answer.
To do this, simply go to System Settings. Under the Data Management menu, the option to "Move Data Between System / microSD" card will be available.
