Question about how to transfer Xbox Game Pass games from old PC hard drive into new PC.

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good morning

unfortunately there is no way to do this, system files are installed at the time of download and are necessary, and unfortunately if you keep your games after formatting you will have to download them again.

most of the gamepass pc games saves are either in the document's directory, or the windows apps or user directory on the c: drive, most games do not use the cloud saving.

best to google each games save location.

Thank you for the reply.

I have another question?

What happen to my game save files? Are they all automatically upload to the my XBox account's Cloud?

Where do they place the save files?

Thx

I suppose another question is, can i transfer my games to my pc and then to the Xbox external hard drive some how?

Hi Nott,

Thanks for the reply. This is a difficult one as the old hard drive has files from the entire system of the old PC. This could mean the error is system files, game files or any other ones. The game pass folder are not accessible as they are for games you
technically do not own. As you get them through game pass. Is the old hard drive a secondary one or the primary? As the best thing would be to reformat the drive so it would match the new PC.

Thanks,

Brad
