Question about save files

[Kayderim]

Hey guys, i'll be buying a SSD soon and will format all my other HDs, i want to know if there's a way to keep the save files from my games, where are they stored?

Games that support Steam Cloud will store data there and sync it with your account.

Some games have save-data that may appear in your documents folder or other places.

Check out PCGamingWiki, ot lists save locations (and other stuff) for countless games.

Why format all other drives? You only need to wipe the drive with your OS on.

Use Steams move game folder onto any drive that your OS is not on. Make sure you have Steam Library set there first.

Any game save files stored on your system will be stored within the game folder and moved along with the game folder as mentioned above. Others will be in your 'My Documents' area and can be moved easily too.

Open Windows explorer > Right click Documents > Location Tab > Change Location to D:\Documents (or something else you want) click Apply > Move everything.

Now once your new SSD arrives and windows is up and running just change location for Documents to E:\Documents or whatever you called it. Once done you can leave it where it is or change location again....C:\Documents and move them onto your SSD if you prefer.

Because my storage 1TB storage HD is full of ♥♥♥♥ and i've deleted and even though i deleted half the things there it only to have 190 gb left, there's something wrong with that.. And since the videos i record with shadowplay are in averege 10gb i won't have too much free space.
