Steam Account and Games folder help

kh85 · 16 Jul 2013 at 22:41

Alright guys, so i have a small 120gb ssd. As the steam summer sale is on i've bought a few games and installed them to the 120gb ssd. It now only has 35gb free so a few other games i've bought i've had to start installing to my 1tb hdd. Is there anyway possible to move the games from the 120gb ssd to the 1tb, so that they are all on this hard drive instead and steam recognises them there?

(bad grammar sorry)

thanks

Backup, delete, restore works nicely as well.

"steam mover"

But why bother just have most games on the 1tb

Have your most played on the ssd

Btw don't know the exact numbers but don't ssd's slow down soon as you go over about 75% space ? also I take it you have done all the ssd tweaks to free up space on it like turning hibernation off and restore off etc etc also always worth deleting whats in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
windows update can leave loads of stuff in there it's safe to delete it all

only way I go is

rename steam folder to a backup

Install fresh steam using the install steam now from site

move steamapps from backup to new location

restart steam job done
