Remove everything but games?

[hawthorne]

Hello,

 

I just installed my new SSD!

 

I have all of my games on a HDD as well as my old install of windows 7.

 

What is the best way of remove the os and leaving the game files so I don't need to re install them all.  

 

Thanks

First off, IT crowd, best show.

Second, just install the OS to the SSD, install steam, then go to Steam>Settings>Downloads>Steam Library Folders, browse through until you find the steam library, and set it as that.

Create a new partition, dump all your games there, wipe partition with old Windows install, install Windows on SSD.

I don't have room to create a partitions, I have an os mixed with 400gb of games on a 500gb HDD.

Done but I want to remove the os files from the hdd so I can install games.

Well, if they are steam games, just copy the steam apps folder somewhere and then format your hard drive (dont just delete everything)

 

Same goes for origin, uplay, battle.net, etc.
