[quote user='Kershonn']I simply want to be able to download Xbox games on my PC while at work. At home I have satellite Internet which sux for speed. It takes days to d/l a 6 gig game file if it doesn't crap out all together.

Feb 26, 2018 How to download “ Xbox One & Xbox 360 ” games using your PC. 01 - External USB 3.0 HDD 256GB or a bigger size. 02 - XBOX One Drive Converter v1.1 program. 03 - PC & Xbox. Step by Step Guide for Downloading Xbox One Games with your PC and Transfer them to Xbox One.

So when at work is there anyway to d/l Xbox games to my PC and either burn them to DVD or movbe to a USB drive for transfer to my Xbox? For that matter what about system updates. With PS3 I can download updates from my PC to a USB drive and then copy and install them to my PS3.

Have you considered bringing your console to work? You'll have to download content on a console; it's the only way.
System updates can be downloaded elsewhere and applied to your console by USB flash drive or burned disc:

Well that makes total sense, I mean we are connected to our PC's as well as our phones, we can even save games on cloud and play them on a different console. But please Heaven forbid we use that same cloud account that is linked to all our devices to download a game already paid for onto our PC and not need to download it again at home. What can be so difficult? if you want us to pay for more cloud storage. fine. But why should this request be treated like such a stupid idea that you don't even make an effort towards incorporating a function like this. Honestly, there are illegal ways to do this, but we the faithfully stupid Xbox owners want to do things legally and are willing to pay for certain functions that you just casually wipe to the side, and see us as poor ignorant gamers. I've been an Xbox player since the first Xbox came out and love everything the company does and try to do. I love the Xbox insider app, I think it's an awesome idea. But then I read a post like this one, where a question and request gets blatantly pushed aside with a short answer just stating 'no its not possible, but here is something you can do, even if that is not what you asked, but take my answer or leave it' Because honestly with all the server crashes that meant all your loyal Gold members lost tons of play time while you still take the monthly amount without compensation for all the down time, you still figure everyone everywhere has fiber internet. did you even read the previous persons comment... ' It takes days to d/l a 6 gig game file if it doesn't crap out all together.' So even if he does start downloading before he goes to work it's till going to take DAYS, and if the download does not stop because of Xbox servers crashing, that's not your problem, he is just one guy in the middle of nowhere, is that fair to your money paying clients? Why do you only cater to the rich and well located clients. that was one way I usually convinced people to choose Xbox above the Playstation by telling them Xbox is for the little guy, Xbox cares about small clients. What I'm going to say now without lying. So I hope this comment gets read, by whoever cares and I really hope Xbox stops seeing us as wallets but as paying customers who expect certain things from the company we spend our hard working, war riddled, disastrous economic money on. We can still help to make Xbox the only console anybody wants to play on, but listen to the small guy, cause he is the one with no money that still supports your company by buying games and escaping his poor life. You the company are so much more than just games, you have the platform to uplift people, give kids better self esteem, connect people that never would have met, even end arguments with a simple 'shoot it out' game. We are your people. we are your support. we need to be heard.

Most of the Xbox One Games have a size in two to three digit figure (in GBs), and if you only have a 500 GB or a 1TB hard drive, running out of space for a regular gamer is not a surprise. Adding to this, if you are into buying digital games, re-downloading the games take a toll on your bandwidth, time, and especially those big updates.

Good news is that Xbox One supports external drives which can be used for to install games and keep them there, while you still use the internal storage for downloading, and install the new games. In this post, I am going to share how you can achieve it.

While I am using Games in this context, you can also move apps to external drives as well. It’s an uncommon scenario, but its possible, and works the same way as it works for the game.

Hardware Requirement & Initial Setup

You will need a hard drive of at least 256 GB with USB 3.0 support. I use my Western Digital hard drive, and it works fine. However, if you are picking a new one, take one with high storage space, and faster speed for the performance.

Setting up a new Hard Drive:

Plug in your drive into any of the Xbox One USB port, and it will prompt on how you intend to use it. You can use it for storing media files, like DVR game clips, etc., or you can use it for installing games. If you select gaming, it will format the hard drive as per Xbox One need, and it cannot be used for anything unless you format it. This is a screenshot of what happens when you plug a hard drive into your Xbox One. Select Format Storage Device.

When you select this option, all your data on the drive will be erased permanently. So if you have anything on the drive, make sure to back it up.

In case, you accidentally choose Use for Media, follow the steps below to convert it for games.

Press Guide button on your Xbox One controller.
Navigate to the right using the right bumper to System.
Select Settings, and navigate to System section, and select Storage.

This will list all your drives, both external, and internal.
Use the cursor keys on your controller to find the hard drive you want to use for gaming.
Once you find it, press A button on the controller to open the options.
You should see
- View Contents.
- Format for games, & apps.
- Set as Capture Location.
Select Format for games, & apps.

In the next screen, select Format Storage Device, and give a unique name to the drive.
Post this, Xbox One will prompt if you want to choose this as default storage device for games from now on. Choose Keep Current location.
You will have to re-confirm it again, and you should get a message that the drive is ready.

Transfer Xbox games to external hard drive

Now that our setup is complete let’s learn how to move the games from your internal drive to external drive.

The primary reason I suggested not to set the new external drive as default storage location was for performance. Internal drive will always be faster, and you can always use the external drive to move games which you are not playing for now. If you intend to play them once in a while, you don’t have to move them back, but always play from right there, seamlessly.

Let’s start:

Make sure you are signed in with your account.
Press the Guide button, and open My games & apps.
Go to the game you want to move using cursor keys on the controller.
Press the Menu button on the controller. Then select Manage Game.

Surprisingly, the next screen offers two options.
- Move All: This will copy all related content over to the external hard drive.
- Copy All: This will keep a copy on both internal hard drive and external drive.
Select Move All.
Confirm the drive on the next screen.

Once done, you will see your drive listed with the name you gave it. It will list the game you moved here and a progress bar. This will give you a fair idea of how much time it might take for the game to be moved. The bigger the game is, the more time it will take.

That said there are some important things you should know:

You can cancel the transfer anytime, and your games will still work. There is an option to pause it as well.
The reason why there is a copy option is that if you are planning to transfer the games to a new console or another one, you will need to have a copy left on your primary console.
Lastly, you can perform multiple move or copy. The next game will be added to the queue. You can see it under “Queue” section in My apps & games.

To transfer the game back to internal storage, follow the same steps, and this time choose internal storage instead of external storage.

How to bulk transfer Apps and Games on Xbox One

Microsoft has built an option for bulk transfer for those who have too many games to move to an external drive or internal storage. Its called as Transfer, and you can move both apps, and games using this.

Microsoft recently added the ability to transfer items between drives in bulk, to ease the process during big transitions. This should be especially helpful for those upgrading to the Xbox One X this fall, allowing large games (and their 4K updates) to be transferred with ease.

Go to Settings > System > Storage, and open it.
Navigate to the drive from which you want to bulk transfer.
Press A on the controller for the menu.
Select Transfer.

This screen offers
- Option to select the destination if you have multiple external drives.
- Select All or select ones you want.
- Sort by name or last used or last update or by size.

Next select Move Selected.
This will initiate the transfer, and you should be able to see them in Queue.

This covers up all the options for transferring, moving, and copying files from Xbox One to internal storage, and back to internet storage. How many games you have on your console? Do you use an external drive? How are you managing things when storage falls short? Let us know in the comments.
