Steam Users

from Elemental Forums


Hello All,

I am getting a new computer. My question is, after I install steam onto it, will all my games be there in my library? And do I just re-install? I have 5 installed and play Legendary Heroes and CIV 5 daily.

Thanks for your help.

You will have to install steam client and logon to it. There you will have your library with all your games. Any games you want to play must be downloaded through the Steam client as usual. If a game has saves in cloud, the saves will be available.

Yes you can manually transfer your games. Just copy steamapps folder and the steam executable. All the rest of the files are optional.

Definitely the smart thing to do ^
