Hi there, I own an extra Xbox One S at home and was considering moving up from my old PC. Could you tell me which parts of the Xbox I could upgrade and whether Windows 10 would work with it? Thanks a lot, Max.

Typically, most parts are attached to the mainboard, limiting upgrades. You should be able to upgrade the HDD if it uses SATA. Running Windows 10 might work, though it would likely not be supported or straightforward.

Mostly HDDs can be replaced without much hassle. For Windows, you'd first need to enter BIOS, which isn't straightforward. It's possible but challenging because consoles are built as closed systems. The hardware should work since it uses an AMD APU, though not the older PowerPC version.
