Installed games on an external hard drive, trying to transfer to a different computer.

Hello Maverick2k,

Can you try to follow this workarround to see if it works for you? https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/ctvdpd/how_to_transfer_xbox_game_pass_for_pc_games_to/

Good find there.

This work around only works for games that are not native to the Universal Windows Platform though, so in theory it should work for games like Tomb Raider and Wolfenstein, but it won't work for Forza or Gears.

I don't have two PC's to test this out though and I'm not planning on Re-installing Windows for a while. I would be interested to know if it actually works though.

Have you tried your game on an external hard drive or a different external drive?

Could be a sign of HDD failure/a.

If you check this root, don't move the game install to the other drive - well you can try - but it's likely if the game data is currupt this will transfer also.

Try another clean install, different drive.

Do you have more than one hard drive on your computer?

If there are more hard disks in your computer, such as an external or internal hard drive, try to install the launcher on the disk that has your system (Windows) installed, in my case, it would be the C disk, try that there.

I had the same message when trying to install GTA 5. Even though it would be installing on my external hard drive, it still wanted the 0KB on my internal drive. I was able to install successfully once I transferred one 15GB game from my internal to external
drive it was fine.
