Anything I need to disable or things I can change to make it run better? Or any other general knowledge I should know? I had a 360 for 7 years so I'm no noob to xbox, I'm just getting it for GOW UE and CoD since I switched to PC and I miss those games.

There's not really much you need to know, getting familiar with the guide and UI helps, when I got mine I was clueless as to what I was doing, but other than that, no there's not much.
Also have to be ready for unbelieveable game sizes. Both GOW and COD are 50GB each, so if you're looking at expanding size an external would be smart.

Alright, awesome. I wasn't sure if there was spying shit I would need to turn off since I dealt with W10 and it's made by the same people. Also, I'm getting a 1TB so I think that'll hold me off for a while. If I do need an external, would it be a offbrand USB one like for PC, or does Microsoft sell their own external drives?

1TB is like the 250GB for the 360. On the One you literally have to download 20+GB in games each game you get. Which is crazy.

Like the 360, you can use whichever one you want.

Alright. All they all USB? I'm assuming so since it's a console and you can't put them inside like you can a pc lol.

Yeah, all USB. You wouldn't need the external straight up anyway, it takes a while to come close to the hdd space unless you have 10 xbone games ready to download.

Just make sure you aren't angry easily cause it has many faults. As I've had myself friends all offline when they're all online... random communication bans for **** ...
