    When I try to download anything from Xbox, it will not allow me to select my External SSD as it "isn't formatted as NTFS". This is the SSD I've always used to download games, I have about 900gbs of games downloaded to it (mainly from steam, nothing from Xbox), so formatting it isn't really an option for me. I subscribed to Xbox Game Pass today for like $1.00 so it isn't a huge deal if I have to cancel my subscription, but if there is a way for me to download the games that would be great.

    :)

    Xbox application on PC will not allow me to install directly to external SSD. How can i fix this without formatting my SSD?

    You can’t, the system requires the drive to be formatted with NTFS to work

    Same problem for me. First of all I though the it is because I install on an external disk (SSD) but as I read, and as it is allowed by xBox PC app, we can install on any destination (including external disk).

    Hope that MS will solve the problem asap.

    Cheers...

    Unable to install Xbox Insider Hub and Microsoft Rewards on Xbox One

    Okay I managed to fix the problem. I disconnected my external SSD from my xbox and allowed the app to install on my xbox’s hard disk drive. Everything else on my SSD doesn’t seem to be compromised as well which is odd.

    Can i put ms edge on external ssd on xbox one s? and will ms edge be faster on ssd?

    Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

    Yes, you can move Microsoft Edge to an external SSD on your Xbox One S. However, it is important to note that Microsoft Edge is not a standalone application on Xbox One S, but rather a part of the Xbox operating system. Therefore, you cannot move Microsoft Edge to an external SSD on your Xbox One S directly. However, you can move the entire operating system to an external SSD using the “Move” or “Copy” feature in the Xbox settings.

    Here are the steps to do so:
    1. Connect your external SSD to your Xbox One S.
    2. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
    3. Go to Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage devices.
    4. Select the storage device that you want to move or copy content from, and then select Move or copy.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

    Please note that moving the operating system to an external SSD may improve performance and reduce load times for games and applications. However, it is important to use a high-quality SSD with fast read and write speeds for optimal performance.

    I hope this helps resolve your query.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider only starts with DLC installed, if console is switched offline.

    Interesting. I have the game and all it's DLC installed on an external hard drive with no issues. The only difference I can see is that you're using an SSD hard drive where I use a plain old WD Elements.

    I'm wondering if it's something to do with the nature of how SSD drives store data compared to none SSD drives.

    Do you have the external drive set as the default location for all downloads/installs in the storage settings on the Xbox ?
