Replacing an Xbox One hard drive can be a bit tricky, but it's doable! First, you'll need a compatible replacement drive (usually a 2.5 inch SATA). You'll also want to back up any data you don't want to lose. Then, open up the case (you might need a Torx screwdriver set), swap out the old drive for the new one, and reassemble everything. You'll need to reinstall the Xbox OS using a USB drive and the Offline System Update files from Microsoft's website. Good luck!

Hey, it's a bit technical but totally possible! Get yourself a 2.5 inch SATA drive and make sure you have the tools to open the console. Swap the drives and you'll need to reinstall the OS from a USB drive. Just search for Xbox Offline System Update on the Microsoft site.

It's easier to use an external hard drive! Just plug and play.
