Those who are planning on purchasing or using the Xbox One will be required to download and install the “Day One” update from Microsoft.

Microsoft has put up a guide, which you can access by hitting the VIA link below, that offers you step by step instructions on how to check what Xbox One operating system version you are running, how to save the update to your PC or USB drive, and how to use that USB drive to update your Xbox One.
