So I have an SSD (which I have my OS on) and an external hard drive. I have my steam and steam games installed on the external hard drive. Some of the files are, however installed in the SSD under My Documents. I imagine some files have been installed inside Program Files as well.

So my question is how do I move the Steam client and games that are in the external hard drive (I would still want the files in SSD to stay there) to my new internal hard drive (non-SSD, for storage purposes) without rendering anything unplayable?

I hope I'm making sense. If not, let me know

WITH THAT BEING SAID...

I would NOT do this for any game with VAC. They may see it as modified files and give you a false VAC ban. Just saying to play it safe. I remember quite a few people simply modifying the .ini file for resolution on a game, and got VAC'ed.

the issue is I have several Skyrim mods as well as mod managers. I don't have any idea how they would behave once I have them moved. Reinstalling other games is easy but reinstalling and re-managing mods is a pain in the buttocks
