So I currently have a HDD (the OS and all my contents on it) and purchased an SSD which will become my new OS drive.
I believe I understand how to do a fresh Windows 10 install on my SSD (making a bootable drive, unplugging my HDD and install OS on SSD etc.), but now this is where I gets a little confusing , so please bear with me!
After the OS is installed on the SSD and the HDD is plugged in as a second drive, I would like to reformat my HDD since its quite a mess, but have my installed steam games held somewhere else temporarily (External HDD or the SSD) so I can get the games back on my HDD after the reformat without having to destroy my bandwidth downloading the games again (I have alot installed!) is there a possible way for this? I stumbled on to this steam post : https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129
would this be on the right track?
My aim is to have a reformatted HDD with steam installed along with the games on it. My SSD would only contain the OS.
Any advice would be appreciated!
