Transferring between Steam accounts

[paintguy]

Hi all, I'm not much of a gamer myself so could do with some help please.

My son is 13 today so eligible for a Steam account of his own. He has a couple of games on my Steam account that we'd like to transfer over once his is set up. I'm aware that I can't actually transfer the games and he'd have to purchase new copies on his account but it would be great if he could keep his progress by moving over any saves / data / files etc.

Games involved are Terraria, Scrap Mechanic & Team Fortress 2

I'd thought about just backing up on my account and restoring to his, but not sure if there's more to it than that.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all.

I didn't really want to go the official support route in case they had an issue with the age rating of TF2 for example, but will have a look at the family share.

We seem to have success. Thanks for all the input guys.

For anyone searching this in the future: We set up family sharing which allowed him to install the games on his machine. He then copied the game files from my machine and overwrote the ones on his own.

We've only tried Terraria so far but he can now just continue on from where he left off on my account, with as all his progress intact.
