I’m in the process of building a new PC today, and I need some guidance on transferring my Steam games and their files to a disk storage drive. What’s the best way to do this, and will I have any issues with games like Minecraft? I really appreciate any help since I’m a bit lost with this!
1 Answer
If you’re using an external hard drive to back up your games, keep in mind that transfer speed can vary. If your internet connection is solid, sometimes it’s faster to just redownload the games directly onto your new PC. But if you’re concerned about saving your game files and settings, definitely use the external hard drive for that.
