CONNECTION ISSUES THAT ARE PREVENTING ME FROM PLAYING MY GAMES ON DEVICES

I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY MY GAMES ON MY DEVICES.

1) OLD TECHNOLOGY FOR EXAMPLE : USB CONNECTIONS ARE BECOMING INVALID OR ALREADY NOT SUPPORTED VIA SOFTWARE SO i CHECKED THIS OUT AND SURE ENOUGH FOUND THIS TO BE THE CASE i HAVE A PROBLEM IN BUYING A NEW PC OR CONSOLE AND THAT IS i WONT BE ABLE TO PLAY SOME OF MY GAMES DUE TO INCOMPATABILITY ISSUES LIKE LIKE NEW SOFTWARE OLD HARDWARE AND VICE VERSA WANT TO KNOW IF I WAS TO BUY A NEW GAMES PC OR CONSOLE THAT ANY GAMES I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED CAN MIGRATE OVER TO THE NEW MACHINE.

2) I HAVE A BUFFALO EXT DRIVE BUT UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO BREXIT:

MESSAGES READS AS FOLLOWS CODE: 451 BUFFALO.COM UNAVAILABLE DUE TO LEGAL REASONS. WE RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS THIS WEBSITE FROM A COUNTRY BELONGING TO THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA EEA INCLUDING EU WHICH ENFORCES GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION GDPR AND THEREFORE ACCESS CANNOT BE GRANTED AT THIS TIME.

PROBLEM I GOT IS AN I/O ERROR AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING MY ISSUES I HAVE DATA AND GAMES I PURCHASED FROM MS STORE ON IT HOW CAN I MOVE THE DATA TO ANOTHER EXT DRIVE OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER COPY ONTO THE NEW DRIVE WITHOUT PAYING AGAIN FOR THE SOFWARE LUCKY FOR ME AS I GOT SOME SOFTWARE I NOT DOWNLOADED YET THAT I BOUGHT BUT EVEN SO IF I CANT RETREIVE THE FILES FROM MY EXT DRIVE TO PUT ONTO THE NEW EXT DRIVE THAT IS COMPLIANT TO THE UK RULES WHICH I DO NOT KNOW OF IF MICROSFT COULD HELP ME WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE AS TO WHAT OPTIONS THERE ARE AS I FEEL I PAID FOR GOODS AND I CANT ACCESS THEM DUE TO SOMETHING OUT OF MY CONTROL DID NOT KNOW HOW THE BREXIT WOULD HAVE EFFECTED ME UNTIL NOW IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE STAY SAFE ALL!!!

3) ANOTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY MY GAMES WAS AS IN PREVIOUS MENTIONED MESSAGES IS THE CONSTANT SHUT DOWN OF MY EXTERNAL DRIVES WHILST PLAYING A GAME MAY HAVE CURRUPTED FILES OR DISK HENCE NOW NOT ACCESSIBLE WHEN TRYING TO PLAY GAMES AS IT JUST QUITS EITHER TO DESKTOP OR MSSTORE AND THEN HAVE TO RELOAD THE GAME AFTER DOING THIS SERVAL MORE TIMES I EVENTUALLY GAVE UP!!! WHICH FOR ME DOSE NOT GO DOWN WELL AS A FUTURE PURCHASER FOR EXAMPLE GETTING A NEW XBOX X OR PS5 OR SUPER GAMES COMPUTER PC THE CHOICE OF WHETHER TO BUY AN AIR COOLED OVER A LQUID COOLED MACHINE FOR PC RATHER GO FOR AIR COOLED THAN LIQUID COOLED BECAUSE OF RISK AND COST OF REPAIR IF SOMETHING WAS TO GO WRONG WITH THE LIQUID COOLED SYSTEM THERE IS A RISK OF THEM CATCHING FIRE OR EVEN EXOPLODE LQUIDS AND ELECTRICITY DON'T MIX VERY WELL. A BIT LIKE WHEN DRIVING A CAR YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR RADIATOR AND OIL AND FUEL AND BATTERY AND BRAKE FLUIDS ALL REQUIRED CHECKING THE LEVELS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING AND NO LEAKS ALSO THE WIRING AND TEMPERATURES OF THE SYSTEM IF OVERLOOKED OR NEGLECTEDTHE RISKS COULD BE COSTLY AT BEST OR WORSE CASE CAUSE DEATH SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE GET EVERYONE OUT TO A PLACE OF SAFETY THEN CALL THE FIRE BRIDGADE FORGET POSSESSIONS LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT! FOR EXAMPLE FIND OUT WHAT TO DO FROM YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR DO'S AND DON'T'S. ALSO KNOWING SOME FIRST AID WOULD ALSO BE BENEFICIAL AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED IT TAKE CARE ALL AND STAY SAFE!!! =)
