I have to give away my old xbox 360, now my question is if I just swap the hard drive, my account is still on the xbox? Because the account should no longer be on the console, because my PayPal is still linked and the person can then simply buy things

That's why it's enough to swap the hard drive so that trusted data is no longer on the old console?

Yo just delete your profile from the hard drive, on the 360 it's easy

ka

Hard disk can enter

The account is not normally on the local disk, you can also simply change your XBox account and Paypal account password, done.

ed

My accounts are on the hard drive (memory) which you can also rausnemen so easy

Ma

Can't you set the console to factory default? So that would also be the memory emptied?

ed

That is not enough if I rausziehe the hard drive below? And I have no password to log in when starting the xbox

ka

Yes and as I said you can delete that from the hard drive.

ed

I would not like that because there are still games on it sind.Ich had heard that it is enough to take out the hard drive just below

as

But your Xbox account has a password and username / email address

Although I have only ne ps4, but Xbox I think it is your microsoft account. Please correct me if I'm wrong

ed

Yes but you can just log in on the xbox without indicating what because the account is still there on it and that's why I want to know if it is enough to swap the hard drive

as

Therefore, should change your passwords in the pc, then had to enter only on the Xbox your new password to login

ed

So change password, he logs on and then pops a message on which he should enter the new password?

Ma

And if you give away the console, what do you need then the hard drive with the existing games?

It should be enough to delete your profile from the hard disk.
