Moving from Xbox One to Xbox One S. What do I need to do before selling my Xbox One?

maulerrr · Nov 18, 2016

So I recently bought an Xbox One S 2TB bundle and hooked it up this morning. I plan to sell my first Xbox One, but before I do, is there anything in particular I should do (transfer any data?) before getting rid of the console permanently? Or am I all good
to go as long as I just wipe the console back to factory settings?

Thanks for your input!

couple of questons about selling xbox360 and switching to xbox one.

I'm selling my xbox 360 a week before I'm getting my xbox one.What do I need to do about my account? Is it connected to that particuler 360 console and what do I need to do before I sell that 360 console to someone I don't know? I want to keep my account
and just switch it to the xbox one I'm getting,but I'm confused about how selling my 360 a week before I get my xbox one is going to dictate what I need to do to keep my original account.Could someone tell me what I need to do and what order I need to do
it.Again,I want to take my account off of the 360 I'm selling and move it to a xbox one that I am buying.The monkey wrench in that simple process is that I am selling the xbox 360 a week before a get my new xbox one.Thanks

XBox 360 to XBox One S

Moving from 360 to Xbox One S soon. Do I need to save downloaded 360 content/games to Cloud in order to play them on Xbox One S, or is there another transfer process?

Hi

After setting the console up you will need to re install/download any games that were installed on the consoles internal hard drive. Once you have installed your games the new console should recognize your game saves located on the Microsoft servers and
download them to your new console when you start the game.

In addition to this make sure you set the new console as your home device.

As for the old console carrying out a factory reset and select the option to reset and remove everything should be sufficient and if the console is in the preview program please also unenrol the console from the program.

Hi. I have an UK Xbox one I will be moving to Canada soon.

Do I need to buy a new xbox one or do Microsoft sell all I need to be able to keep the xbox one I have?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Donald. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. The Xbox 360 hard drive transfer cable cannot be used to transfer data from an Xbox 360 to Xbox One.

To move your data from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, all you need to do is sign in to your new Xbox One with your Microsoft account. When you do this, everything listed in the "What moves to Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S" section below is transferred to your new console.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Hi therealrock83,

Provided you keep your Xbox One online your game saves, profile, and dash settings are all saved in the cloud. All you'll need to do is sign in on the new console. With the games if you have them on an external drive, all you have to do is move that drive
to the new One S and they should be playable. If you're not using an external drive then you'll either need to just redownload / reinstall them on the Xbox One S, or you'll need to purchase an external drive and move the games from the Xbox One to that, then
plug the drive into the One S.
