Hi there,

I'm afraid nobody is able to assist here in the forums with something like a self made repair or modifications, which exchanging a HDD is, since it's not allowed to discussed.

It usually isn't even necessary, since if the console is connected to Xbox Live (Internet) then the save games are automatically synchronized to the cloud, which means that whenever you sign in to your account on any Xbox One console that is connected to
Xbox Live and you start a game you played earlier, the save game would be downloaded to that console too and you can continue where you left off.

All info including saves are backed up in the cloud...thats why you get a sync message if swapping consoles/ using multiple consoles or devices so you should be fine in that respect.

Hard drives are not interchangeable due to per system encryption. In theory with Xbox Series X this could be less of an issue since the external drive port becomes part of the system, but we’ll know more in the fall

yes its an official HD, not one off ebay or a swapped drive.
