If you’re like most Xbox One owners, you’re always looking for ways to increase your storage space. Whether it’s for games, movies, or just general use, having extra storage is always a bonus. Here are a few ways to get more storage on your Xbox One.
How to get more storage on xbox one
There are a few ways to get more storage on your Xbox One. You can either buy an external hard drive or upgrade your internal hard drive.
If you decide to buy an external hard drive, make sure it is at least 256 GB so you have enough space for all your games and other data. You will also need to format the hard drive for use with the Xbox One. To do this, go to Settings > System > Storage > Format external storage. Once you’ve done this, your external hard drive will be ready to use.
If you decide to upgrade your internal hard drive, you will need to purchase a new hard drive that is at least 1 TB in size. Once you have the new hard drive, remove the old one by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. Then, put the new hard drive in its place and screw it in. Finally, format the new hard drive for use with the Xbox One by going to Settings > System > Storage > Format internal storage.
How to use external storage on Xbox One
If your Xbox One is running low on storage, you can use an external hard drive to add more space. Here’s how:
1. Plug the external hard drive into a USB port on your Xbox One.
2. Select Settings > System > Storage, and then select the external hard drive.
3. Select Configure now and follow the prompts.
4. Move content to your external hard drive by selecting My games & apps > Games, and then press the Menu button on your controller and select Move selected items. Or, you can select Settings > System > Storage, select Internal hard drive, and then select Games and apps. Select Move all to move everything to your external hard drive.
