Today I’m going to talk about how to move Steam games to another drive. If you want to move your games to a faster drive, just go to the Steam website and login. This will be a two step process: adding your new drive and transferring your games to the new drive.
Add Your New Drive
- In the upper right corner, go to Steam and then select Settings.
- Select Downloads and click on Steam Library Folders at the top.
- This option shows you all of the drives that are currently linked to your Steam account.
- To add your new drive, click on Add Library Folder. Find the drive you want to add and Create a New Folder.
- Once you hit OK, make sure your new drive is highlighted and click the Select button.
- You should see that your new drive is showing up as connected to your Steam account.
Transferring Games to Your New Drive
- Navigate to your Steam library and make sure you’re under the filter called “Installed Locally.”
- Select the game you want to move. Right click and then select Properties.
- Look at the third tab called Local Files.
- The last option under this tab will be Move Install Folder.
- Under the drop down, select the new folder you just added and then click Move Folder.
- Once it gives you a successful confirmation, you can double check that the files were moved by checking your drive on your PC.
