Externals

[Impling]

I was wondering can I install games ( not just steam games but other types too ) on to an external hard drive and be able to move itfrom Pc to Pc without a problem?

Depends on game mate. Most cracked/pirate games are easy to swap to another PC just by drag and drop (I know it from internet ). But also couple games with live updaters like league of legends or games grom battle net can be dragged and dropped

Hey there Impling,

 

It really depends on the game. This is valid for applications too. Some of them can and are made portable meaning they can be installed on external drives and be executed on multiple system without the need of reinstalling. Most applications (and games) though need to make an entry in the OS's registry and thus they are tied to the specific OS. Running them on another OS would require you to reinstall them. 

I would check each application if it can be installed in such portable way and then proceed.

Did you make any progress? Did you do some research on some of the games? It would be helpful for anyone with the same question to know some info if you have found something interesting.
