How to Move Steam Games to an External Hard Drive
Super simple! Just plug in your external hard drive, then open Steam and head to Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders > Add Library Folder. Choose the location on your external hard drive and bam, you've got a new spot for your games. Next, go to your game library, right-click the game you wanna move, hit 'Properties', then 'Local Files', and finally 'Move Install Folder.' Pick your new folder and Steam does the rest.

Remember, not all external drives are fast enough for gaming, so you might see longer loading times or even gameplay lag. It's like when you're trying to run but you're wearing flip-flops instead of sneakers.
Just buy a bigger internal drive, honestly. External drives can be a mess with games, especially if you unplug it by accident mid-game. RIP progress.
