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
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
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!
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
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*
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.
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 ❤️💪🏽
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.

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.
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
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
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 ?🤔
This is rediculous, I should be able to just copy the game folder to my external hard drive in a few clicks. Its 2021, come TF on. If it's so easy to do on consoles then PC should be a breeze.
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?
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.
Between 2:10 and 2:20 you went way too fast. I've moved a game over too my E Drive and it still won't just play even when i select the download source. Keeps making me try to download it again
I haven't tried this yet but it should help a lot I had only 150 gb left in my c file and 1.5 tb in my d folder and don't know how to move games without it glitching I tried it before and it completely broke the game
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
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...
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.
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
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?
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?
thx so much it was so easy i needed to move rocket leauge to my other drive cause i am downloading warzone and i needed more storage cause i like to play warzone alot and i dont want it on my other drive so thx
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
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
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
Nice, fast, informative and clear that what all i want from the other videos to be not a time wasting. Thanks man
This helped me a lot thx I was searching everywhere on how to do this but I didn’t find anything :)

Nice tutorial. Also have you made one on how to move Minecraft?

Ive been unlucky enough with uplay where i tried to move game launcher showed it needs to update
you're a legend mate
when i move to steamapps to common mine doesnt have a common i did everything the way you did please help
DId you find out the problem, I suffer from this problem too. Please help me.
Yea you probably hit select folder instead of ‘new folder’ happened to me
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
Good stuff, was able to move my stuff over easily.
Hey can this work on portable hardrivr too
Great video man! Keep it up!
I will! Finally getting all these long videos out, now to do the fun stuff!

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
in my ext drive it doesnt have a common folder it just has steamapps so do i make a folder called common?
can u do this with battle state games / Escape From Tarkov to be exact !

everything here works i love this guy
I tried to make it work for fortnite but it just didnt work and its downloading it all again What do I do.
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
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
Any idea how to do this but the xbox games app on pc but to new pc?
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.
