Christian aka Coach CWC coming at you

with another exciting video this is how

you can move your games to an external

drive and play them off of any system

and this can include your steam or

origin or battlenet games so let me show

you how you do this now the external

drive then i'm going to be using for

this video is a samsung t3 this is a one

terabyte SSD Drive i like using the SSD

drives me because it's not a mechanical

drive i don't have to worry about it

failing on me i can just throw it in a

bag and go

so this is my preferred drive for video

games and small backups things like that

so this is a USBC drive but you can see

here that the cable that comes with it

just plugs into a regular USB 3.0 or you

could swap this cable out and just go

USBC so because this is a macbook pro

because there are no regular USB 3.1 was

just us bc's i'm using this attack ii

adapter and with this adapter and i'll

leave a link below but with this adapter

allows me to use three USB 3.0 is an SD

card and a microSD card all-in-one

device so i'm going to plug this in here

plug this back into my laptop and we

will be good to go now for your steam

games you're going to want to locate

where those games are at in this case

I've already moved them but what you

want to do is you want to copy them over

so typically on your pc you'll find them

under your c drive or program files but

look for steam and then underneath steam

you're going to find steam apps and then

underneath that you're going to find

common now this is where all the games

by default get installed so this could

be on your C Drive verde dr just find

out where they're at

copy any of those games that you want

over to your new hard drive external SSD

whatever you want to use and then that's

going to be how we're going to tell

steam origin and

I don't have to look for them so let me

show you the next step ok so now that

I've got steam installed you can see I

just went up to steam and then settings

and within your settings here just go

down to downloads so you should click on

the download button then it's going to

ask where our content libraries are in

this case you can see it's just where

the defaulting of location is when we

installed steam i'm going to choose my

external drive which in this case is d

but on yours it could be whatever the

external drive is i'm going to point it

to the steam folder as you can see i

have all my applications in there i'm

going to choose the default just steam

folder that i have i'm going to select

that you can also see now that it shows

the seven games that i have in that

location i'm going to right click on

that steam and i'm going to make that my

default folder so make sure you do this

so every time it looks for it in there

and as you can see now if i go back to

my library games you see how the buttons

play instead of install or stream so any

games that i have installed directly and

to this external drive those ones will

be highlighted and I'm ready to play

them that's all you need to do for steam

you're good to go

so let me show you on the next

application how you do it

okay next up is origin and i've already

installed the desktop application so

once you've installed the desktop

application if you click on origin go

down to application settings in the

application settings on the top click on

install and saves click on game library

location change folder this is again

where you want to select your external

drive here so make sure you select your

external drive so now that I've got my

external drive selected and you can see

I've got my games in there and I chose

the order

in folder so you can see now it says the

origin games so make sure you copy over

the origin games folder from your old

system onto the external drive now you

can see if i click on battlefield it's

going to act like it doesn't know it's

there soon as I click on download its

then going to locate the files that are

on there make sure the file structure is

correct and you're done

let's move on to the next one let's move

on to battlenet ok so i have my

battlenet client installed on my desktop

so same thing again i just want to make

sure that i've copied over the games

that i want to in this case i just

copied over hearthstone and overwatch so

you can see there that they're located

in the folder and you can put them

anywhere on the drive that you want and

as long as in battle net you just point

right at the root of the drive it will

automatically detect where there s so

once i have chosen the route that now

looks for those that find them

same thing again it's now just going to

patch these up and you're ready to go

that's all you need to do you get to go

so that is how you can move and or play

any steam origin or battlenet games from

an external drive whether it's an SSD or

mechanical or if you want to backup your

gaming files put them somewhere in the

event that your system crashed you can

do the same thing or if you got a new

drive for your computer and you just

wanted to move them all without

redownloading all of them

that's how you do it so i hope you guys

like the video if you did make sure you

hit that thumbs up leave any comments

below on videos you'd like to see in the

future

make sure you stick around for the next

video when i show you the gameplay and

the macbook pro bass 13 and i'll see you
