Transferring account to a new console

do a drm transfer at www.xbox.com/drm with the original account to the new xbox

this does not transfer the content to a new account just a new console

Hey there, it is very simple.

He does not need to transfer anything. You just need to log in with the account (email and password) that used on the old console, and all the game saves, purchases and games will be automatically available on the console!

You will just need to re-download games on the new one. (If you want to avoid re-download of the games

you can transfer all the games to an external HDD)

One last thing, you may want to set the Xbox Home of the profile to the new xbox, so that all the purchases are also available offline.

Here's a super easy guide: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Have fun!

Other questions? Just ask!

If I might give you a bit of advice concerning the Home Console setting that Sanana94 mentioned:

Games you buy digitally on Xbox are tied to the account that purchased them. But the owner of the games can designate ONE Xbox One console as their "Home Console", and allow that one console to share their games with everyone playing on that console.

So if your older son has a lot of games that your younger son might also want to play, ask your older son to NOT set the new console as his Home Console.

Since the older son "owns" the games on his account, he can always play those games as long as he is connected online on any console he wants to play on.

If your older son sets his new console as his Home Console, the younger brother would have to buy all the games for himself again.

So, since they are brothers, it would be a nice "brotherly" thing to do, to keep the old console as his "Home Console" and allow his younger brother to play the games he owns.

Also, if you don't own an external USB hard drive, the console's can also transfer the games via your Home network. And as a last resort, your son can simply download the games again to his console from the Internet.

But just make sure your son uses the same account as before!

Hi there,

It's best to let it finish the transfer before shutting off the console.

Great!

Thanks so much for your help
