    External drive transfer to a new Xbox.


    I'm going to be upgrading my Xbox One and have an external drive. Will I need to format it and redownload my games or will it plug and play with no problem?

    Moving a game to a new console

    Yes you will! If you have an external hard drive, transfer it to that, then, when you get your next gen console plug the hard drive into the USB port and transfer it from the external to the SSD hard drive that is in your new xbox to enjoy the speeds and
    benefits of the new console!

    xbox recognizes external hard drive, but won't allow customizing or configuration in the menu?

    As an external device the xbox 360 will only allow USB drives from 4 gig's up to I believe 32 gig's, no other support exists.

    If you are doing this via a transfer cable, that cable is only meant to transfer data from an old drive to the new system, not to allow an external drive.

    How do I perform a data transfer between two different Xbox One consoles? (Day One XB1 (500GB) to new COD XB1 (1TB)?

    Easiest way is to attach a 500gb external USB 3.0 drive to the old console and move the data to the external drive, then connect that drive to the new console and transfer the data back, or just use the external

    If you have enough space on your external HDD, copy everything there from inside the Xbox.

    Make sure your saved games are in the cloud. Then on the new one just set your default drive to the external

    After transferring your games to an external hard drive, plug it into the new Xbox One.
