    I cant select my external hardrive to install games on my PC and selecting it in the settings doesnt save

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    even if you want to install on an external hard drive, it is essential that your C drive has space, as this is where the temporary installation files are located, and then define the installation destination of the applications in the windows settings.

    Question

    You should be able to use an external usb hardrive as well as the games you already have installed on your xbox, as long as it meets the requirements for downloading and storing games. I have a 3tb hardrive and use my xbox hardrive as well for downloading
    and storing games and it works just fine, you just have to connect it to the usb port of your xbox for it to be recognized as an external device.

    Can I download my digital games onto external hard drive

    Set you external hard drive as default location in the settings, and every game will be installed there by default no matter whether install was triggered manually or from PC or mobile.

    To do so, follow these steps:

    1. Go to Settings on your Xbox

    2. On Settings page, go to System, and then select Storage

    3. There, on the right you'll see all the drives including your external drive.

    4. Select your external drive where you want to install games, and press A button on controller.

    5. This will open the menu. Here select the option "Install here by default".

    Then to install games from PC or mobile, you will have to trigger the installation remotely. To do so

    1 .Open Microsoft store App, or use Xbox.com

    2. Find the game that you own and want to install.

    3. There click Install button and you'll be prompted to select a device where to install. Select your Xbox One and proceed.

    My accounts/devices

    When I goto install a game on the pc that is on my xbox account it asks me to select what device but it doesnt have my pc as a device on there. How do I select my pc as a device/set up my pc to be a device.
    Not all games are compatible with cross platform.

    Can you give details on the game that you are trying to install?
