Installing a new SSD......

GIBURROWS · 18 Apr 2012 at 08:40

I am upgrading my SSD and was wondering what will happen to my games installed on my E drive even though Steam is installed on my C drive, will it pick them up or will I have to delete then re-install all of them again?

Thanks in advance.

i copied steam onto my other drive and it worked fine for me but make sure all your game data there as well

You could simply clone your E drive and then make your new SSD the E drive?

As long as the directories are the same the registry will work. So E:/Programfiles/Steam is the same no matter what drive it's on.
Or it may work fine with just a copy/paste but I can't guarantee it, yet it seems to.

I am swapping my 60GB to a 128GB and my E drive is a 1TB so copying isn't possible as such, just trying to figure out what time frame I'm looking at as there is a certain game of football on tonight which I can not miss.
