THANK YOU so much for this, i was looking for exactly this workaround. Click Move, then choose the correct Steam folder and click Move again. Uninstall games using the Blizzard Desktop Application Open the Blizzard Desktop Application and go to the correct tab for the game youd. In the Switch to Windows 11 Pro section, select Go to the Store. Originally posted by Trekky1701A:Yes you can change the location easily. To move a game you currently have installed, return to the Storage Manager and select the games. On your PC running Windows 11 in S mode, open Settings > System > Activation. \steamapps\downloading folder is selected, it will always end up in E:\SteamDownloads This folder redirection is transparent to Steam Client and Windows Explorer - the only difference is a little arrow in the folder icon. Then exit the Steam Client completely and open an Administrative Command Prompt. You don’t need to know what graphics card you have or what driver it needs. The trick is to use Symbolic Links (a feature widely known in Linux, but not so much in Windows) to let each "downloading" folder of the various Steam Library folders point to the same, centralized location/drive.Įxample : Games in Steam Library folders on smaller SSDs in C:\Steam and D:\Steam, the desired central download location on the slower but bigger HDD E:\SteamDownloads.īe sure you have all current downloads finished and applied to their games (as you will temporarily delete the downloading folders). With the software installed, you can easily update your GPU driver. Necroing this post to describe a way how to consolidate the steam download folders into one location for example on different disk in case you have multiple library folders, without messing around with Steam Client.īy using this, you do not need to worry anymore what happens when you move a game between library folders.
