I do have a question. Im New to steam and dont know how it works in terms of using my data on a new PC. So lets say im reinstalling everything from steam without following the steps in this video on my New PC (i have currently one game on my Laptop that Supports the steam cloud). Will it also install my old data from my laptop through the steam cloud or do i have to restart it from scratch?

Instead of an external drive if both computers are connected to the same network you can also use windows homegroups to share the steamapps/common folder and then just copy them from the shared folder to the new computers steam games folder and the download will be faster. If both computers are already in a homegroup, setting a folder up to share should take less than 30 seconds.

This guide seems to work, no worries.
However, you don't actually need an external drive - i've copied my -common- folder over the network into a -migrate- folder, followed the rest of this guide, and it seems to do what's been promised. Thank you, for enabling me to not download 1.2 TB again. ;)

So basically... If i got a Big External hard drive, and installed future games onto the drive after copy pasting a main folder. I could just bring my games with me on the go on a laptop from a desktop?

This works great! Ty. I have 18mb down at home and 288 down at another location. Awesome to be able to download a game in 25 mins, rather than 6+hours. Thank you again for this.

Can you not just download steam on your new computer and then manually download the games from your library? I don't want to spend more money on an external hard drive?

Will this transfer all game data? The game I'm trying to move doesn't support steam cloud (Super Hexagon) but I want all my high scores and stuff saved on my new PC.
