[SOLVED] Adding an SSD

[dgshelto1]

I recently built a computer with a single 500gig SSD which houses the OS + games + misc files.

I'd like to add an additional 500gig SSD for games only. Once I've installed it, can I simply move my games over from the existing SSD to the new SSD, leaving the OS + misc files on the original? Is there anything specific I need to do, like uninstall the games and re-install?

Thanks!

Depends on the type of games and platform.
Steam, pretty easy. Origin has similar function, I believe.

Steam games location
In the steam client:
Steam
Settings
Downloads
Steam Library Folders
Add library folder

To move an already installed game
Games library
Right click the game
Properties
Local Files
Move Install Folder

The only game I have currently is Call of Duty - Warzone. When I right click the Launcher - Properties - I don't see "Local Files". I'm on Win 10.

Then it will need an uninstall-reinstall.

Good to know, sounds like an easy straight-forward solution. Thanks for the reply!
