    My xbox one s motherboard went toast cannot get it to do anything. So my question is Iv seen that they dont want you swapping the hardrives out? I would lose all that money wasted in games right?

    Hardrive swap

    Swapping out the hard drive would violate the terms of service. All of your purchases are tied to your account, not the console. So you won't lose them. You would just redownload them on a new console.

    are these downloaded games from deal/games with Gold that you swap between the 360s hardrive and another external like a USB?

    HD Too Small

    Do not use third Party Content for Xbox Hardrives (USB Are ok but might not meet xbox standards which will be stated when you format it to be used on the console itself) You have the biggest Hardrive possible and might have to do one of two options because
    switching hardrives wont work simply because you cant have your game profile on two different hardrives.

    A) Delete some Date off your current Hardrive IE Demo's, Music. Games you have beaten and barely play

    2) If you have a smaller then 32 Usb drive then get them maxed out though this is only temporary because most on demand games are above 4 gigs of Data.

    3) Move your gamer profile to a USB drive then use the hardrive swap technique but that is iffy because the hardrives probally arent meant to swap out on a regulaur basis.

    Swapping 360 slim hardrives.

    Hi,

    You only really need an official Xbox 360 Slim hard drive if:

    • The game insists on using an internal 360 hard drive. There are a select few 360 games that need to install some data from the disc to run, these games need an internal drive.
    • You still want to play original Xbox games.
    For almost all other Xbox 360 games you can install to a external hard drive via a USB cable. The Xbox 360 supports external drives up to 2TB. If you connect an standard external hard drive via USB you can just move the game or saves to the external drive.

    Unless your Xbox 360 drive is official, you won't be able to play original Xbox games. Most drives are not official. Any official hard drive will be quite old now as Microsoft hasn't made these drives for nearly a decade.

    I have an old Xbox 360 I use occasionally for games that are either not BC on the Xbox One/Series X or were never released on PC. I use a 1TB external hard drive. I also want to insure that my Xbox 360s old DVD drive will continue to work into the future, so I install my 360 disc games to the 1TB drive.
