SSD Question

[No1newts]

Apologies if this should be blindingly obvious but here goes.

I have a new PC with an SSD and a backup HDD, at least that's how I planned it. By default the system was installing everything onto the HDD which is now running out of memory.

How can I move things onto my SSD and I do I need to do anything special for this? Basically I want to dump my steam file in there but will this kill things in regards to commands opening games?

Be gentle with me if I've asked anything monumentally dumb

There is a program I used to have which you you use to swap the destination folder / drive of your steam games so you could have the most commonly used on an SSD for speed, without affecting your library etc.

I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but if you can find it then it sound like it would be the perfect solution.

I think it was something like "Steam Swap". I will try and see if I can find it. My own PC is out of action just now so I can't check if I still have it. Someone else might know.....


*edit*
I found it - Steam Mover. I was close!

Cheers.

What would be the impact of just copying the steam file from the C to the new drive? Is it a lot more complex than that?


edit: actually ignore that, this steam mover thing is simple.

Question, it shows the memory take up on the new drive but hasn't shown increased free memory on the current drive, is this because it is "tricking" the system or a bug?

I don't think the game would launch if you just moved the folders.

I don't know how the program works sorry, only that it moves the files about whilst keeping Steam happy!
