How to Transfer Data From an Xbox 360 to a Computer

Microsoft's Xbox 360 is a gaming console that also has the capabilities to download and play videos, music and photos. While the Xbox 360 offers several options for managing, viewing and sharing content, you may want to back up the files to your computer to help avoid a loss in case of a mechanical failure. Transferring the data from the Xbox 360 to your computer is simple and requires only a removable storage device.
