Transferring new data to Xbox One S

I am interested in buying an Xbox one S, but I am not sure how hard it will be to transfer my save and game data to it. I'm sure I will have to reinstall games, but as far as save data goes, what's the best way to transfer that? I also have a 1TB external
hard drive attached, but how do I tell if all the necessary data is on that for the transfer? Also can I tell what data is saved to that hard drive versus the internal hard drive?

External Hard Drive on the Xbox One

Is there a way to save my save data on my internal hard drive and then save my game data on the external? I want to make sure my game saves are protected if my external hard drive crashes.

Hi there, DjcharmJA.

Can you please send us verbatim or a photo of the error message you're seeing with this issue? Also, to check, are you playing the Better Together version of Minecraft on Xbox One and trying to launch a world from the "Minecraft
for Xbox One" version?

System Update Recommend Transferring all game saves and files to external hard drive and using the working internal hard drive as a back up drive that way the game saves and files are portable and you don't lose any data from the internal hard drive.

Hello

So some games on my xbox were non transfering from my internal hard drive to my extern hard drive. I tried a hard reset and plugged the external hard drive to a new USB port. These options didn't work. I then went to the external hard drive section in storage
and clicked format hard drive. Understandably everything on there was uninstalled. My question is will my saved game data be there when I have reinstalled the games? For example story progression or unlocked characters?

Hello welcome to to forums!

Just to clarify!

Your game save data are save on your local hard drive and on the cloud if you login on Xbox Live (online)

So don't worry you can delete the games on your external hard drive and the save data are safe on you local hdd or cloud. When you install the game again you will download automatically the save sada from the cloud or get the one of your hard drive!

The data transfer cable will not plug into the Halo hard drive. The transfer cable evidently cannot tranfer dater from a console with an internal hard drive to another console with an internal hard drive. I will have to transfer my data to an older external
hard drive, then transfer it to the Gears console. I just hope I do not lose any data.

If you have them saved to an external hard drive, you would just move the hard drive to the One X. That'll be the easiest. Otherwise you can sign in and redownload them from your Ready to Install list in your Games and Apps.

Even without an external drive you will be able to transfer data via your home network ... search xbox one x transfer tool..... on YouTube and you will see video examples ...

Which will save you downloading them again
