I recently set up a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit copy on one of my SSDs (840 EVO PRO) and also have a second 840 PRO on the same drive. As a gamer, I rely heavily on Steam daily. I’m wondering if there’s a method to connect the game installs from my larger Windows 7 partition to the new Windows 10 partition without having to reinstall everything. Any advice would be really helpful!

They are needed apart because each part serves a distinct purpose in the overall process.

Create a symlink using CMD as administrator. Replace the paths with your actual locations. You can also use Steam settings to manage library folders.
