Feb 25, 2019 I had Steam and all the games on my D drive in my old PC. It's more complicated if you want to split games between different drives, or have the app on one drive and the games on another (my solution: symlinks), but as long as everything is together it should be easy.

Can't Download Games On Steam
Hi all, I'll be getting a new gaming Desktop PC in a few days time, and I've never had a computer with both a SSD and a HDD (the one I have now is nearly 11 years old! And it's all installed on a single HDD [though a lot of my files are on an External HDD to save room]).
The reason I'm asking this is, as I don't know how modern computers deal with having Windows 10 installed on the SSD, and having programs such as Steam installed on the HDD - or can it be installed on the HDD and still work just as well?
What I mean is, should I install [in particular] Steam - and all my games on Steam - on my 120GB SSD (as it's faster, though it would take up room on there), or do I install Steam + games on my 2TB HDD (where there's loads more room, and it saves space for the SSD to be used purely for Windows 10)?
I know my games will take up most of the room on there (I'm thinking of installing ALL my games and leaving them installed if it's on the HDD - which will take up who knows how many GB), so I guess most of the largest games will be installed wherever Steam is installed..
So is it even possible to install Steam outside of Windows' Program Files?
I'm not sure how it all interacts with each other. I know games like Half Life 2 has its own folder - C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappssourcemods, and the rest goes into C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon
But can that/Steam be moved out of Program Files and on to my HDD, or is it too interdependant on Windows for it to work?
Thanks in advance
