Game reinstall after clean installing C drive from HDD to SSD

[Pias94]

Hello, 
I am planning to buy a ssd and shift my C drive from HDD to that SSD(128GB).  All my steam games, ubisoft games, origin games, rockstar games are installed at different drives. Now those games will be uninstalled after the new os installation on the ssd. I am pretty much newbie at this things. So can anyone tell me HOW TO REINSTALL THESE GAMES WITHOUT LOOSING ANY OF THIS LARGE DATA? 
Thank you in advance.

How are you planning to "shift my C drive from HDD to that SSD" ?

If a clone operation, you need do nothing.

If a clean install...
Are all these games on the current C drive?
Do you have another drive to move things to temporarily?

Hi. I did the same thing today, so I have a say (for only Steam though). My Steam library was on my local drive D (in HDD) I deleted the C and after installing SSD (as C) I put the Steam on it. And I tried to move the files of one game to C (in Steam/common/etc). I pressed the install the game later it showed up like "discovering the game files" and I load the game without downloading again. So if you plan to use your HDD after installing SSD, put all your game files in HDD or an external drive before formatting. Then move them to your new Steam library.

How big in storage space, or capacity is the mechanical hard drive.
To the intended SSD drive you are buying.

Is it equal to the size or capacity?

If so just, clone the Mechanical hard drive if the amount of data on it, used space is bellow the total capacity of the SSD drive you are buying.

If you still want the working os, and games to work from the new SSD drive instead.

Unless you've already bought the 128BG SSD, I wouldn't. Get a 250GB instead. Better price vs size.
