Hi

does anyone know if I can install games from steam on separate drives or does it have to be the one steams on?

I.e. steam installed on SSD with Call of duty. C drive

dawn of war installed on D drive?

You could use a program called Junction2Folder, once installed all you do is right click on a folder select junction2folder then select the destination.

Same as mklink but with a nice UI, lol

so could I with this keep the steam folder and say one game on my ssd and install the other steam games I have on a mechanical drive? or have I missed the point?

Seems kinds pointless having the SSD though if you're going to avoid it using it

im not avoiding using it, just its on 64 gig and can't install on the games i want to on it. a lot of the games i have are fortunatly/un on steam
