if you are downloading a file, can you switch profiles and keep downloading from the other...

Hi Garry,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. Yes you are able to switch to other profiles while installing a game from another. You can view the guide for

installing games on Xbox one for any other questions.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi

I would believe so yes. At least I have downloaded some games on my own profile from Xbox Gamepass, while my kid used the console with her profile.

You really only need to transfer your save game files. DLC you can re-download from your Download History. Your profile you can just re-download to the new storage device.

If the profile that you deleted from your console is the one that you are posting from, you can indeed get it back. However, you will need to connect to Xbox LIVE long enough to download it. The only other option would be to download your profile to another
console and then transfer it with a USB drive. As for the game save, you can copy it or move it using another profile, making it owned by that profile. But, while you'll be able to afcess it with the new profile, you will not be able to earn achievements with
that save file any longer if you make a new profile the owner.

Hello Money! Unfortunately it is not possible to transfer content between profiles. When it comes to downloadable content such as a game as Minecraft or an add on for a game, there are licenses. When you download something, 2 licenses are downloaded. One
license is automatically synced to the gamertag that downloaded it, the other license is synced with the console that it was downloaded to. This is why you have to do a license transfer when switching from an older XBOX to a recently bought one. The licenses
are forever tied to your profile, prohibiting you from transferring it to someone else's profile.
