I installed a new SSD today and dont want to wipe my old HDD because of all of my games and game saves on there. is there a way i can just keep my old HDD the same with no problems? they both have Windows 8 on them, and im using an SSD as my boot drive

take out HDD
install win8 on SSD
plug HDD back in
resintall steam
move games from old steam folder to new one

if not steam, you may need to reinstall

there is no need to wipe old HDD

my current HDD has been through 3 OS installs on 2 different SSDs without a single wipe
