What happens if i change os on xbox

[TarunM10]

I was wondering what would happen if i swapped the hard drive in my xbox, with another hard drive that contains windows 10. Would this convert it into a pc?

Probably wouldn't work for a varity of reason's, but the first one would be the bios/uefi would notice a unrecognized operating system and just stop right there

It will not turn in into a PC. It either won't boot at all, or it will just show an error message that your OS is corrupted and then it will likely format the HDD you put in.

Nope, it would not turn into a PC. The hardware in your Xbox differs from regular PC hardware, which essentially means you won't be able to run Windows on it.

@XR6 But what if i switch and then put back the original one? Will it not run the default os? Will i be bricking my xbox?

the xbox will only boot their os, you can't run any other os on it. Its locked down, and not like a normal pc. If you put anouther os on the hdd it just won't boot.

a) there's a mixture of Celeron and Pentium 3 inside.

b) that System is around 20 Years old

c) if you remove the HDD (or it dies) of a unhacked Original XBox, its dead as a dodo.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Xbox One.

 

To answer your question: No.

 

A PC is not an OS or a processor. It's a system architecture. The Xbox One, considering it's heavily based on the same hardware as the PS4, is likely stripped of key features that make a PC a PC, much in the same way a PS4 is stripped of those same features:

 

I mean, will a PS4 run mostly the same Linux and games as a PC does? Yes. But that does not make the PS4 a PC.
