Once you get your machine back and have Windows on the SSD, install Steam. When steam is installed, go to your library settings and add a library. Point this new library at the files on your secondary hard drive and then restart Steam. It should find the files and be good to go.

What you MAY have to do is one or both of the following:


    1. Verify the game files so that it will DL and install any needed dependencies.
    2. If it doesn't show the games at all, install, and then set the install directory as the one on your second HDD. It would then find the files already there and set them up.
