If I uninstall Steam will i have my game progress saved?

[Ai-Wan]

I need to restart my computer so everything uninstalls, i don't have anything really important except steam games, i've heard that you can uninstall steam but before you have to move the steamapps and userdata folder to a safe location.if i'm gonna restore my whole computer i would need to install steam of the internet move back the folders (steamapps and userdata) into the whole steam folder and then reinstall my games again, right?

No, you have to do a copy of a folder called SteamApps that is located in: C:/ProgramFIles/Steam. You save that folder and then desinstall Steam.

back up your save data in the folder of steam and restore it ^^

all games save in differend locations.
even the appdata folder in windows is used sometimes.
it is a maze to check it for all games.

the steam\userdata folder has (cloud)saves too you want to keep it.

magic?

I am sure you are not new to computers.
files are files , you handle them or they handle you.

I just used that program first time , super easy.

but i dont want to install anything else i just need to somehow backup all my game saves so then i can restart my coputer and install my games again

gamesave manager does not need an install.

you just want somebody to do this for you so your brain does not hurt you.
how do you figure that is going to work out?
