  1. Moving Windows Games to New Hard Drive SSD?


    Just bought a new SSD Hard Drive to download my Window Games on. However, there is no information on how to transfer games onto new hard drive from the previous hard drive because my space is reaching it's maximum. In addition, there is no way to direct
    new game downloads onto which hard drive I want it installed on. New games I download automatically goes onto default hard drive when I first installed Microsoft Store.

    If anyone with answers to these questions, it'll be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Moving Windows Games to New Hard Drive SSD?

    Although you can't move the store or xbox app you can move the games. Click on start and then settings. Click on System and then apps & features. Find the games that you want to move and left click them. You'll have two options, move or uninstall. Click
    on move and select a new destination, i.e your new SSD. You can do this for all your games, not just those that have been installed via the store or xbox app.

    Can I use an Xbox One S Seagate hard drive to transfer my games to a Series X when I get it?

    No, just plug in the external hard drive, and your games that are stored on there will work straight away. There is no need to move them to the new console, only the Xbox Series X games have to be stored on the console or the external SSD storage that
    is available for it too.

    Identifying installed games after disk cloning

    Please try the above before moving the games

    Connect the old HDD, move the games to C: drive and then re-connect your new SSD and move the games again

    Can I use an Xbox One S Seagate hard drive to transfer my games to a Series X when I get it?

    So, do you mean that I will have to plug in my external hard drive, then move the games to the internal SSD to play them?
