If it is anything like the current 360 architecture, the content is actually licensed partially to the storage medium, partly to the console and partly to the Live account.
You can do license transfers between 2 of the 3 online and using a device to transfer files between drives, but I do not think transferring between Live accounts will ever see the light of day
You wind up having to re-download / rip most software after installing a new hard drive and migrating previously installed games to satisfy the license system that is ALREADY in place. They definitely have a better solution to replacing hardware than Nintendo, which requires you to send your old Wii / Wii-U back to the factory to transfer software licenses
