Posted August 9, 2021 Hey guys! Hope you can help me with this question here's the scenario: -I've got two laptops; Laptop A and Laptop B, both have steam installed and logged-in using the same account -I have one External SSD which I plan to use as an external steam drive on Laptop A Question: 1. Can i transfer the externaL SSD to laptop B, add it as a library and detect the games on the external SSD automatically with no additional setups/downloads required? 2. and vice-versa? connecting it back to Laptop A The reason why I have this setup is because, laptop B is my personal gaming laptop at home, while laptop A, is at our office. Office internet is 10x faster at home. Also dont want to carry two laptops everytime. Also downloading a lot of games Downloading RAM . . . 1% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 9, 2021 Should be fine as long as the drive path steam is looking for is the same between the machines so it can detect the games.
