Hi! You're planning to use your friend's guest PC with a GTX 750 on a LAN setup. However, you have a hard drive with only 80 GB of space, and after wiping it and reinstalling Windows, you're down to just 7.5 GB left. You're thinking about running BF4 and then moving games to a USB stick for better performance. That makes sense, but you should be careful about storage allocation and ensure the games fit within your remaining space.

They can be stored on separate drives. USB sticks aren't certain, maybe they're too slow.

You can store them on various drives. For a USB drive, I have no idea.

The standard Windows 7 OS doesn’t require large files to function properly.

It might work as a USB drive, but performance would be slow. Consider purchasing a new gaming hard drive instead. A WD Blue 1TB is available at a very reasonable price on Newegg.

If the steam program is stored on your hard disk, you might try using a USB for gaming, though it may not be very fast. You should avoid this if you don’t want the experience to be good.

We're discussing a deliberate and measured pace, not just any slowdown.
