Hey all,
Right now I'm looking into buying a Xbox One X off of Craigslist. The Console comes with quite a few downloaded games, many of which I'm interested in playing. However, I'm not sure how exactly game licenses work on Xbox One X. If I were to buy the console, could I delete the previous owners account and still be able to play the games he has installed using my own Xbox account? My second question is, is there a way to transfer the licenses and ownership for his games from his account to my own? That way I could redownload them if the console ever broke or if I buy an Xbox Series X. Finally, and this is a bit of a stretch, but his account has a few months left of Xbox Live Gold, and Xbox Game pass, could those be transferred to my account as well? I don't know the first thing about how game licenses work on Xbox One, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

If you had the discs for these games then the license is yours, but downloaded ones under his account i think would get wiped off, of course when he sells it he would do a full reset of the machine to remove all his data.
