Nice, fast, informative and clear that what all i want from the other videos to be not a time wasting. Thanks man
This was awesome. Thank you for making this. Basically bought wow for my nephew and it rang me to say it’s stopped on 70% and we all know how long games take to download. Hopefully he’ll be able to drag what’s already downloaded over and it continues. Thanks again
This helped me a lot thx I was searching everywhere on how to do this but I didn’t find anything :)
I thought my computer was running really slow when I was watching this because your vid is so fast. Appreciate the guidance into the gaming spectrum, I have always done behind the scenes work for games, not really playing them haha cheers
Thank you so much had literally no space for modern warfare and cold war so just followed the instructions and it worked thank you so so much.
This was the only good video I could find no bullshit straight and simple, props to you man loved the vid
You need to be the go to youtuber. I watched others and they don’t complete this set up like you did. You got a 👍🏻 from me. If I could I’d give you a 8/10 only cause you were very fast, but I get it you only have a certain time frame to cram all that information into. I appreciate you.
That's really nice to hear man
I never really thought about the speed, but you're absolutely right. It sucks to be needing to pause every 5 seconds!
I'll make it better in the update
thank you for making this as simple as possible. worked for blizzard.
Even though this video is old this guy helped me a lot thank you so much for making this not complicated unlike others that do it to add more time and make more money ❤️💪🏽
Thank you so much. Modern Warfare takes up my whole ssd so unfortunately I had to move it to the hdd but at least I can play the game thanks to you.
nice video, straight to the point with each launcher too? my man.
This dude saved my life. THANK YOU!!!
This helped a lot, thanks! :D
Glad it helped!
Hello @JeffTechMedia I have a question. idk if there is a video on how to transfer steam games on a hardrive from one pc to an new pc. I wanna transfer my hardrive from my old pc too a new pc :/ but idk if this will work
Ive been unlucky enough with uplay where i tried to move game launcher showed it needs to update
Wow your download time was insane mine is still on 3% 🤣🤷🏼♂️ love the vid. I’m nervous deleting it from the built in ssd but I’ll trust you
*fingers crossed*
Make sure you can boot off the new location first!
Haha ya I'm lucky to have the hella fast Samsung 970 m.2 save Bunches of time!
Can you help me fortnite started redownloading

@@abdullahbasim7129 same
@@JeffTechMedia TF does that mean? lol I'm too new at this, layman's terms? lol
in my ext drive it doesnt have a common folder it just has steamapps so do i make a folder called common?
I’m not that tech person . So if I put my game on my external drive (and let’s supposed the steam program is no longer working or went away so can I still run my game on my pc device even though The Steam program is no longer there??
(same as what gforce did to many gamers that lost their games when they separated from nvidia)
Thanks
When I'm transferring game from d drive too steam folders then apps once I get too the point u would drag game too common on external HD the common folder is not there
What if I’ve installed a game from a cd disc i’ve purchased and want to delete it from current location to an external hard drive ?
Help please ;D when you moved Overwatch from one drive to another it took 10 sec. i only move 2-20mb/sec and it takes like an hour to move it.
why does it take so long for me ?
i have an WD elements se SSD, 500GB as the system, and an WD elements se 2gb storage.
how come when i go to play the game in blizzards battle.net there is no pop up with locate game file?
My computer says the file is open or running in the background when I try to delete the original. any tips?
After steam checked all the existing files it say validating... and dont keeps going like that should I wait longer or restart Steam and recheck the existing files?
So i dragged all the files over from my windows storage to my hard drive will their be probs with that?
If I have a cracked copy of rdr2. Can I do the same thing? Just copy the entire folder to the new drive and run it on a new PC? Plz halp
Can we continue the game in E drive from where we left in C drive..? It will not lose any data or the game will start from beginning...?
On steam, as soon as I put the game in the hardrive, I didn't have to do anything else and I could just play without it telling me that it couldn't be found. Is this normal?
Why cant they make this more easy, seriosly what a pain
Exactly let me just drag it over
Few if nobody is talking about ms games. These are probably the worst to transfer. I'm trying to figure this out short of wiping a sh*t load of data off my small ssd and re-downloading again! F-ing ms!
Beside this , it's that possible use the 3.5" 3.2 USB external HDD to store all the game ? so we can run in all PC and Notebook without redownload ?
Just a question if I want to get my friends hard drive can he copy and paist his games onto my drive, so me and him have the game?
It doesn't work for me. At the 2:20, steam didn't match the game and it just kept downloading the game.
I tried AOE II, Tribes of Midgard, ABZU, Horizon: Zero Dawn, but only Tribes of Midgard succeed.
Good stuff, was able to move my stuff over easily.
Has anyone done this with the sims 4 while using mods and cc? I'm an avid simmer and l want to transfer my game and mods/cc to an external hard drive because my c drive is running out of space, but lm afraid something will happen and l can either lose everything or my computer messes up. Has anyone done this successfully with mods/cc?
This will help me a lot, I have about a terrabyte of HDD but only 111GBs of SSD. Now I know how to tranfer to my HDD so I can actually have games.
Whenever I transfer the steam games I always get error codes that want me to try again or skip and when I skip I can’t delete any of the files
After I create the steam library folder it shows up on my external hard drive but when I open it up there is no steam apps to move forward with?
Is the external set as your main steam install location?
Sadly it's been like 6 months and they sometimes tweak it and it changes.
Hey can this work on portable hardrivr too
but theres no steam in the program files what should I do? pleas help
Is there a way I can just have everything download to my external hard drive without me having to do anything? Steam is updated and everything you showed here is different lol it barely help I wasn’t able to download my destiny game the rest were simple
Mine say do you want to delete this file because it’s to big to fit in the trash for bo3 it
everything here works i love this guy
Thank you so much, very concise!!
what is the (F:) thing and do i need to add it?
I tried to make it work for fortnite but it just didnt work and its downloading it all again What do I do.
When i try to delete it from the first folder it’s says it’s open on another folder
hi what do i do if stem isnt in the program files x86?
My steam didnt create auto create a common folder. Can you help me?
Any idea how to do this but the xbox games app on pc but to new pc?
Would the keyboard and graphic settings carry over?
I thought with steam games you just go to settings, downloads , steam library folders and then from here you can select the new drive to load game to ….do I still need to follow ALL the steps you showed earlier in your video … ? I think I might have only half done the job ?🤔
So I followed this to a T and it moved it from my old folder to the new one. However, It didn't clear up any space in my disk.
You don't menchion weather or not to delete the old file from the other drive once its been copied to the new one i am assuming that is the case anyways...
Does anyone have any idea what to do when working with steam and you get to the Common Folder and there arent games listed but more folders leading to a bunch of other nonsense. SEND HELP
Steam updated and this doesn't work and now I deleted a game please help
Wait so when it starts to redownload and you stopped it where did you get the second (common) folder? The steps at 2:05 have me a little confused if someone could explain.
for me the second common folder wasnt there until I manually tried to download the game into my new hard drive and immediately cancelled the downlaod
Do you know how to stop my games from downloading/syncing to my one drive? I have no idea how to stop that from happening without messing up current settings. This mainly happens with my origins games which I don’t understand because I have the origin setting to download to my C Drive in the program files (x86) folder
Yeah sign into one drive and turn off sync
Just subbed, only video I could find for the Epic Games Launcher. What a pain that process is. Also, nice computer, your download speeds are insane. I'd love to know your system specs.
I'm happy to hear it helped someone! They all try and make it tough and usually it's just goofing around until you get it.
At the time I had an OC 1700X w/NZXT X62/ Asus Strix 1080ti/32gb Corsair RGB Pro.
Nowadays I'm running a 3900X / 5700XT / 64gb Trident Royal with a Hardline Water loop.

bro i dont have common in my steam app what should i do? should i just make a new folder and name it common and drag the game into that folder?
yes
my new steam folder on my new hdd didn't have steam apps or common tho 2:10
dose this make the games run worse or anything?
how did you get up 2 file things
Thanks alot man this really helped
I use a lot of Addons for world of Warcraft. From Twitch. Do I need to transfer these over as well or will they run ok as is ?
It depends, are they stored in the actual game files folder? I know some are held within the my documents area.
To be safe, you could make a copy in with your game folder or next to it. Then wither change where the addons pull from, or have the backup for if you need to move the game in the future.
dude you made it so simple! newsub!
Can I drag all my files from steam into the folder and still be fine or do I have to do it one by one
and just to make sure you dont reply with it taking longer I have fast internet it downloads at 150 mb/s
Can I do this same to the gta 5 from epic games store
Hi how to do this for windows games? for eg Xbox game pass for pc
THANK YOU SO MUCK HAVE A GREAT DAY 😊
Nice tutorial. Also have you made one on how to move Minecraft?

The new game from RIOT ''Valorant'' how do i do it? I mean doesnt have any client like steam
There should be a source file located in a folder somewhere. Make sure to check show hidden items in your file expplorer. I recommend the software SpaceSniffer to locate where lots of files are throught the system
Did you figure this out? I’m about to do this and I play valorant
great video it helped a lot thank you
Waste of time my games all needed to update the game file moved but I don't think it moved the game updated cuz mine had to download still or again which ever u prefer
On the fortnite one I still had to reinstall Idk if I did it wrong or what
Dude can you help me fortnite didn't install it started redownloading
