Xbox one x hdd replacement

Hi seadog

Did replacing the HDD worked?

My brand new xbox one X behaving the same

Please reply

Games on an external drive should be fine most likely it will show a brief "installing" message as it validates the game data.

Opening the console and replacing the internal hard drive is not something I believe that Microsoft supports you doing. There are sites that show you how to do it and supply the "correct" HDD type.

Consoles can be banned if it is detected that they have different hardware inside them than belongs in them so you could have unexpected results from replacing the internal hard drive.

Also your save files should be either already saved to the cloud and/or make sure to have all your game saves backed-up as well so you don't lose and game progress when switching the hard drives around.

if they are on an external hdd, you'll just have to plug it back in and all your games will be there.

Internal hard drives are not made to be swapped and self-repair would violate the terms of service.
