    Storing Xbox games on an external SSD drive for PC and delete them also?


    So first of all I have searched and searched. 74 years old into gaming [much fun!], handicapped hands while"I have to" use a KB+M. Controller is impossible, the same with eating soup with a spoon!

    Love the Xbox Ultimate which makes me try different games but of course my laptop bursts at the seams. There are not enough games on the Xbox for me to play or interest me. It is the aiming which becomes all over the place! Almost as good as if I closed my
    eyes!

    I can get a 1TB or 2TB external SSD drive. I know it is easy on the console but how to do it on the PC with the external drive? As a side note I also have to use a very small screen so my movement are the least amount possible.

    I write about the screen just to let you know that there is always a way!

    I am also aware that such games are stored in a file that is not easily accessible and at the same time don't know how to "direct them" to such external SSD drive and eventually if I cannot play them remove them.

    I truly appreciate any help with this. Winter is coming up and for a change I am looking forward to spending many hours playing!!!

    PS: the Microsoft peripheral controller with the large button does not work for me, unfortunately.

    :)

    Wow! That easy?

    "top one" meaning it will be my first top choice I am assuming. And then I will also have the choice to remove them.

    Will try this today.

    Thank You...

    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.

    Xbox series x games upgrading says that the instillation stoped

    Ok what are you storing them on

    If non nvme like ssd or mechanical drive rhen no it can't be installed on it

    Either the xbox series x storage cards or internal nvme only

    Patched or upgraded games must be stored on internal or storage card

    Ir can be stored on external drives but can't run or upgrade from external

    Must be moved internallu
