2nd none SSD Drive for games?

Running a SSD for windows but would like to use my 2tb drive for steam games etc, will this give any performance problems in games or just loading times? Ta

with steam you might be better leaving steam on the ssd but moving your games folder to the 2tb drive.

overall no real reason not to, most people do.

You can just copy the steam folder, no need for reinstalls at all. If it's not happy about something it will repair itself.
