Is it possible to play games you've already installed on a portable hard drive using a...

Yes as I said, they are encrypted files, and the system only recognizes the change from one hard drive to another if the game is on the same system, in your case downloading the game from your brother's PC and transferring it to the external hard drive will not work, as said the files are encrypted which makes it impossible to read them.

Hi! Thanks for replying.

So I've tried following what this video has told me to do but the WindowsApp folders doesn't have Back 4 Blood at all but I swear that I installed the entire thing and even PLAYED it on my brother's computer.









The weird thing is that the space on my hard drive still looks like Back 4 Blood's in there even though its not? It had about 285/290 gb before installing and after installing I had 258 or so.

Stumped...

and now you have opened and changed the permissions for that folder then it won't work on the original system either as you have broken the encryption.

gamepass and a lot of windows store games cannot be moved from one computer to another.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Unfortunately, you will not be able to do this as the files that are downloaded by the Xbox app and Microsoft Store are encrypted. What could be done is to move the games between discs, however, it would be necessary to have the games installed on the current system, so that they appear as installed games, if you are your case, you can do this following the instructions in the video below.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Are you using the games installed in portable hard drive or directly in your console?
