If you are using steam/origin, just copy/paste the files from your old HDD to your new HDD.

Then point to the new folders in steam/origin.

Some programs like WoW let you just move the folder, experimenting or googling case by case. As has been said with steam just move it and and repoint your shortcuts and in the launcher.

Steam? No.  There should be a steam folder by default, and each game should have a folder named within that directory.  I would just copy each game folder to a new folder on your newly installed HDD.  Then go into the steam settings and add that directory on your new HDD.  Steam is currently installed on your SSD, right? It should stay there.
