So basically I have just bought my first Gaming PC and I cant wait to play the games i bought in the sale in preparation, the problem is that I am moving this weekend and will not have internet for a week so tomorrow I receive my PC and want to Migrate steam to my new PC so that i can play games straight away and dont have to wait to sign in or update steam because I wont be able to. Also today is the last day of internet so i have downloaded all my steam games already on my laptop.

Save the steamapps folder. Then, install Steam on the new computer, authorize your account to use on it via email confirmation, then drag the steamapps folder back in its normal location inside the Steam folder where you installed Steam on the new computer. All that may be needed is to verify game files afterwards.

Remember, the entier steamapps folder is the key.

EDIT..You will need an internet connection to download and update the Steam client though.

Sorry, I edited my post above as you will need internet of course, to check email and authorize your account and update the Steam client after downloading it.

You install Steam on the new computer, and then afterwards you launch Steam and try to log in to existing account. You will get a message that says a code has been sent to your email that is attached to your Steam account. You must get that five digit code from the email, and then enter it into the box that you see after logging in and follow the instructions.

It will ask you if you have received the code, then you click yes and enter it. I usually copy and paste it so there are no mistakes. Then, your account should be authorized to use on that new computer.

The PC you play on needs internet connection at least once. Afterwards, you can go into offline mode. You could use your phone or that once.

All right I only have about 200MB left for this month but that should suffice thanks guys

Make sure you transfer he game files somehow. Meaning copy the whole Steam folder.
And read the support article on offline mode. It is possible to disable it in settings.
And uninstall, if you have it, CCleaner. Piriform for whatever brain dead reason decided that its cool to delete Steams bookkeeping files.
