You will need to install Steam on the new PC and set the default folder to the external drive.
Once you’ve done that, you can use the drive on any PC. Download or copy your Steam games to the external drive. Open Steam> Settings> Downloads> Steam Library Folders.Ĭreate a new Steam library on the external drive. To get started, follow the same steps as above. If you want to keep your Steam library on an external hard drive, you’ll need an SSD drive for faster load times. Whatever the reason, you can host your entire library on an external drive and take it with you. Maybe you have a platform in your college dorm and one at home, or maybe you’re playing competitively but need your own Steam library for the competition. In some cases, someone can play on more than one computer. Games that you play frequently should go on your primary drive, but games that you don’t play often are good candidates to go on a secondary (potentially external) drive so as not to clutter your memory. When you install games in the future, you can choose which drive you want to install on. Keep in mind that if this folder is on an external drive, if you disconnect the drive, you will not be able to access the game. Depending on the size of the game, this may take several minutes. Once the folder is selected, click Move folder to start the process.
