    Xbox on PC - how to move files from one drive to another


    I wish to change the Xbox games install location on my Windows 10 system. I have set the location under settings to point to the new drive but want to move the existing game files. do I need to uninstall/reinstall all the files or is there an easier option?

    :)

    Xbox on PC - how to move files from one drive to another

    Hello TomDiPasquale! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    If your new drive is set to NTFS and is working correctly in Windows 10/11, it is quite simple to move the game to a different drive!

    Follow these steps:

    1. Press the Windows + I to open the Settings app.

    2. Afterwards, click on Apps > Apps & features.

    3. Find the game/app that you want to move.

    3.1 On Windows 10, select the app title from the list.

    3.2 On Windows 11, click the three vertical dots on the right side.

    4. Click on the Move button.

    5. Select the new drive from the dropdown menu.

    6. Click on the Move button again.

    USB Storage Device problem

    The data transfer cable is made to move files from one hard drive to another. It's not made to work with a PC.

    Question Regarding external hard drives and games on Xbox App PC

    I understand moving them from one drive to another wouldn't be possible, but you're saying even if it's the same exact drive it isn't? I don't understand why not if it's installed on the drive and connected to my PC and installed through the same account it should be able to recognize it. It's not like I'm moving the files from one drive to another, or trying to play it without the Xbox app. If so that's really not user friendly, blows my mind with how bad the Xbox PC app is compared to something like steam. They really don't care it seems.

    move files from one pc to another

    You should be able to install FM7 on your new system....open the Xbox App and go to "My Library"...FM7 should be listed there..click it and the resulting page should give an Install button
