Minecraft upgrade on switch

My son has Minecraft Switch Edition as a physical game. I want to upgrade it to the Bedrock edition so that he can play with his friends while they are off school. It's supposed to be a free upgrade but the nintendo eshop is saying it's £19.99.
Does anyone know how to get the upgrade if you have the switch game as a cartridge rather than as a download? Nintendo support were absolutely shockingly unhelpful to the point of rudeness.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know anything about Mincraft, but from what I am reading online, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition never had a physical release. What game does your son actually have? Take a picture of it,
If it is Minecraft: Story Mode, then this is a toally different game and can't be upgraded. If it is the normal Minecraft and is on Physical, it is already the 'upgraded version'

I only have the Java (PC) edition that I bought years ago, I was allowed to also download the Windows 10 Bedrock version for free as I'd bought the original so long ago. To activate this I had to log into my Mojang account online.
I'm not sure if this is the same for consoles, but possibly they will issue a code to enter? Try minecraft.net, or mojang.comDebt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!
