I have a Sandisk 128 gig ssd with steam / origin on and nothing else.
I have purchased a 240 Crucial 240 gig ssd and want to move everything from the Sandisk ssd to the Crucial ssd.
Is this possible to just copy everything over or do I have to uninstall everything and reinstall on new ssd?
If possible to just copy everything over then what is the best way to do it, software etc?
 
If the old SSD really does store only Steam and Origin files, then copying to the new drive will work.

Make sure Steam and Origin are not running.
Copy the old drive to the new one
Change the old drive letter to something else (or remove it if that's your intention)
Change the drive letter of the new drive to whatever the old one used
Start Steam/origin, job done.
 
Cracking tutorial of Macrium linked in this post - when using, does the newly cloned drive have all programs working or will I need to re-enter activations / serial number for all programs - With a little luck the answer will be no?!
 
no it will be exact copy of original drive,serials n all

don't think windows needs to be re activated,maybe if on a different motherboard
