I've recently built a pc with an additional SSD which i've installed windows on, I've plugged my old HDD in as this has alot of files and games i would like to use, however they are not natively showing up (also my gpu drivers are on my old hard drive and are not showing up). I would like to use the things still on that hard drive, but i'd also like to get rid of the clutter, is there a way to do this (so they're usable and show up as normal) without buying a new drive and cloning (or something like that)

Your new SSD OS install does not have any of the registry keys to run the games that were installed on your HDD.

The only games that are easily moved are STEAM, where you only need to install the STEAM app on the new OS and point it to the game files on the HDD, otherwise you will need to reinstall your games using the new OS and you can put them on the HDD or SSD as you prefer.

I'm thinking now about moving what i can to my SSD then wiping the HDD and starting fresh, is there an easy way to do this with steam games?
