Hello everyone.
I just bought a new harddrive (Seagate Barracuda 2TB) for my new pc as a secondary drive (because the main drive with Windows will be a SSD).
So on my old pc, that I want to sell, I have a lot of steam games that I want to move to the new other drive, to avoid re-downloading them all.
I installed the new harddrive in the old pc, and formatted it in order to use it (I used this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxV6IcNvbek).
Now I will copy all the same steam folders in the exact right order, as on the main harddrive on the new installed hard drive, and paste the steam games in there. I also want to install steam on my new pc on that harddrive.
My question is, once all the games are pasted onto the new harddrive, can I just unplug the harddrive by turning the computer off? Or do I have to perform another step in order to disconnect it?
And if I finished building my new pc, and I put the harddrive with the steam games on it, in my new pc, will windows just detect the harddrive or do I have to format it again? And if I format it, will all my steam games be lost? So will the whole harddrive get wiped? I am really confused by all this.
I hope someone knows the answer on those questions.
