Transfer all my steam account data or only games to other my steam account.

[PiotrKFtw]

I recently restored access to my very very old steam account (10+ years) and i would like to make that older account my main, is there a way to transfer possibly all data? If not, is it possible to transfer at least games and playtime?

No, you can't transfer games from one account to another.

Family sharing is the best as it gets, keep in mind that not all games supports family sharing.

Wouldn't steam support be kind enough when it's my-to-my account?

No.
There is no "your account". It could just as well be a hijacker who just phished some proof of ownership from you and now wants everything transferred to another account.
Or "your" account could have been bought years ago and now the original creator cashes in.

This is stuff support has to deal with on a daily basis.

I don't get why people always want to create new accounts instead of restoring their old accounts.

in my case it's the opposite, i restored the old account and i want to transfer data from the newer account to the older.

Still the same.

You made a new account because you didn't bothered restoring your old account, until "recently".

well its kinda hard to remember your old account if you stopped using steam for 5-7 years, it was complete coincidance i restored the old account so thats basically it..

Password manager.
Or simply write down your login details in a notebook if you can trust your surroundings. I can still access accounts from ten years ago.
