Install steam on new drive
1. Move steamapps and userdata folders to another Drive
2. Uninstall Steam
3. Install Steam on new drive/SSD
4. Move userdata folder to new Steam folder (Overwrite EVERYTHING)
5. Create new Steam Library on HDD
6. Move Steamapps folder to new folder on your SSD/HDD

Move the Appmanifest .acf file associated with the game also.
