Can't setup new Xbox one!

I just opened up my new XBox One and can't get past step 2. Once I setup everything I powered up and I am getting a system error, please advise?

Hi you can't share the subscription and games simultaneously on both Xbox's. Making the new one your home Xbox just makes the new one your new home xbox. Which removes you from the other one. One of you will have to buy a separate subscription and possibly
the game too if you plan on playing together.

Here is the link explaining how things work

Yep, just transfer it over to your external hdd and transfer it back onto the xb1 s, it's what I did when I went from a normal 500gb xb1 to my elite.

The only thing is the game saves, they are on the cloud. When you go on to the new console you will find that your game saves will have to download whenever you start a game for the first time on your new console. It isn't a long process but it's something
to be aware of, I kept forgetting about it so I'd go to play an old game that I hadn't played for a while and find that I had to re-download my save, it's a small irritation.

You won't need anything like the xb360 transfer add on.

Hey Jimbaby57 -

When you get your Xbox One S console, you'll be able to add your Xbox Live account to your new console. Once you do that, all your settings will transfer and you will be able to re-download all games and apps from the "Ready to Install" list in the "My Games
& Apps" section. However, any games you own on disc will need to be reinstalled

@The Monk - If you have everything installed to an external hard drive, you will be able to connect it to your new Xbox One S and be good to go.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

I have essentially the same question - I'm also getting a One S and don't want to have to reinstall all of my games and their (often sizable) updates and DLC. My external hard drive is large enough to move everything over to there; can I just do this and
then connect the drive to the new Xbox? It seems like that should work, but I went through a few Xbox 360 HD transfers and the requisite adapters and license transfers.
