Hi! You're planning to upgrade to an SSD and need guidance on organizing your games. Since you have a 1TB HDD with Windows 7, you can keep your favorite games there while moving some to the SSD for faster access. For example, you can transfer Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 to the SSD, but keep Battlefield 3 in the HDD if you prefer. Steam Games like Garrys Mod and CS:GO can also be moved similarly. Just ensure you back up everything before making changes.
For Steam, simply paste the files from steamapps/common. Origin doesn't work that way.
It's easy to move files between locations, whether from a 500GB drive to a 1TB one. The process usually takes about a minute, and you can simply remove the files after copying.
You probably need to save and install the game again unless you’re skilled in registry adjustments. The installer must recognize the updated location after relocation.
You can simply paste the game files here? For UPlay, I have Far Cry 3 and 4 available...
I'm not sure... I just transferred the game and it didn't work well. Regarding UPlay... it's really bad. It pushed me to re-download FC3. Even Origin didn't make me do that.
Steam and Origin are the simplest to relocate. Uplay can be tricky though... check out some tips on moving your games without having to re-download them https://forums.playfire.com/gmg/thread/121088. See what Capnp says.
It depends on the software or device you're using. Most apps show CPU usage through graphs, percentages, or real-time updates. If you're asking about customizing it, check the settings menu in your operating system or application. Let me know if you need help with a specific tool!
I don't need to transfer Uplay files. I'd like to keep them on the HDD. Just want to access them from the SSD. I'm planning to move BF4, CS:GO and Garrys Mod. Maybe a 256GB SSD is too much?
