What is steam?
Steam is a free platform where you can buy and download games. The application is free but the games are not. Some are free but mostly you have to pay for them. Steam was launched by Valve who are also game creators. Steam has been famous and the best for downloading and installing games. It gained popularity due to its extremely user-friendly features and interface, and not to mentioned its wide range of collections. If you are an independent gamer and wish to create games, you can sell your own game on steam too!
Usually Steam offers you to choose where you want to install the game before downloading but one problem that always existed was that it will be extremely difficult to move those games. You have to uninstall it and install it using another folder which takes a lot of time, not to mention the data.
But due to recent updates, it has become comparatively easy to move the steam games. In case you have a new hard disk and you want to move the games you need not uninstall and reinstall them every time, you can just move them easily. In this article, we are going to see how to move your steam games to another folder
