When you buy a new PlayStation 4, you’re likely given a hard drive to play the games on. But if you want to keep your games and data safe, you’ll need to format the hard drive before you can play them. Here’s how:

  1. Open Windows 10 and click on the Start button.
  2. Type " Format Hard Drive" into the search bar and hit enter.
  3. The Format Hard Drive window will open and you’ll need to provide some information about your PlayStation 4. For example, your name, address, and other important information will be required.
  4. Once everything is complete, click on the OK button to finish formatting the hard drive.
  5. Now that the hard drive has been formatted, it can be used for gaming purposes!
