I bought a xbox one without a internal hard drive and tried the offline system update with a external plugged in it did the update but when it gets to the install part it wont install goes back to troubleshoot or restart do you have to have a internal hard drive fo it to work?
External storage is just for storing games, music, and other media. It will not work for the OS. Any 2.5 inch hard drive will work. Here’s for a 1 TB or 500 GB drive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LYNQXC… Here’s for a SSHD, which will make your system a bit faster: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IEKG48… Hope this helps!
Yes, you must have a hard drive. Where in the world did you buy a Xbox one without one?
