Hacking Can I change a harddrive from a wii u to another with ease?

[DynastyVic]

I have now a 32gb wii u which I want to transfer my stuff from my 8gb wii u.

Can I plug my harddrive from the 8gb wii u to the 32gb wii u with ease or will there be issues? e.g. I need to reformat the hard drive or something?

Yeah it will ask you to format the drive again unfortunately

Is there a way to bypass this as I don't wish to go through that hassle of downloading all my wii u stuff again.

Not really, even if you could get the disk to be read on another console (or you transferred the files over FTP/wupserver) tickets would still need to be installed on the console, user IDs may not match, ...
