I recently received an old 2TB hard-drive from late 2009 (not sure if that makes a difference, it's also quite quiet for it's age)
My PC currently has one hard-drive consisting of two 290GB partitions (excluding the new one, it's already in my PC taking place of D:\), D:\ contains my full Steam installation and quite a few games, I just copied that entire drive over to my new hard-drive and swapped the drive numbers (F:\ to D:\ and vice versa).
So now my D:\ drive is 2TB in size, I wanted to know if it was possible to merge my Steam games from my C:\ drive over to D:\ while keeping everything intact (I don't mind having to edit some config files).
The C:\ drive contains a folder that goes like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam2\SteamApps
Inside SteamApps are folders such as common and the other usual Steam game folders, in the Steam2 folder there are two .dll files, one named Steam2.dll (last modified early 2014) and another called Steam.dll (last modified 5th November 2015)
Will dragging and dropping my SteamApps folder on C:\ to the D:\ SteamApps folder and merging them together, will I still be able to access the C:\ drive games that I have transferred over to the D:\ SteamApps?
Any help would be much appreciated!
yes, it should after a steam restart
You might have to re-install the games and point them to the right drives.
I.E. You have FIFA installed on E: but steam doesn't recognize it so it wants you to install. If you select your E: drive during the install, steam will find the files and realize that it doesn't need to download everything
Thanks for the help!
Oh man I have so much space, well, time to install all the games in my library for no reason whatsoever.
