how to download onto internal instead of external

Hi,

These steps apply to both Xbox One and Series X|S consoles, exactly the same method for both.

Go to Settings > System > Storage devices > Internal storage and select “Install here by default”, then when asked to confirm - select “Install new things here” to save the changes.

If you’re installing a game to a storage device without sufficient space, then the console would automatically ask you to make enough space or install the game to a hard drive that has all the required storage available.

You can also change the capture location (where your in-game clips and screenshots are saved). To change this, select your storage device and select “Set as capture location”. The capture location can be the same default storage device for games and apps - Internal or external, but not both at the same time.

There’s also options to move or copy games and apps between storage devices.

If the change to the default location doesn’t immediately take affect, then restart your console and try the steps again if needed. Be sure to wait at least 10-15 seconds before reconnecting the power to completely

reset the power supply

Just to add, you also can backup settings, and transfer games and apps to your external hard drive to manage multiple items at once. The other option “network transfer” allows other Xbox consoles on the same network to copy your installed games and apps. These options can be found in System settings > Backup & transfer.

Here is a guide to manage storage on Xbox One and Series X|S consoles:

Hope this helps

Goto Settings>System>Storage Devices and select Internal drive then select Install here by default.

Never it said corrupted on my Xbox but I changed the installation onto my internal drive instead of external and downloaded the game first before anything else and it started working.

Yeah, that's true.

You can download the apps from the PC onto the phone's external storage, but in order to install it to the phone you actually need to install it onto the phone's internal memory instead.

Don't worry about bothering me with questions. I'm happy to answer and help you!

I FOUND A SOLUTION! If you are trying to download ark onto an external hard drive move it to the internal hard drive and it should work. I had the same problem and error code man. If you are trying to download it onto the internal drive then try doing it on an external drive. I'm sorry if you don't have one.
