Steam defaults to the C drive, but if you're like me and juggling SSD space like a circus performer, you'll love that you can pick a different circus ring for each game during setup. Just watch for the 'Choose location for install' option and send your games to wherever you've got the room. Happy gaming and data managing!

Steam usually installs games in the 'SteamLibrary' folder located within the Steam installation directory. By default, on Windows, this is often found in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common'. But remember, you can actually choose a different location for your Steam library folders whenever you install a new game, giving you the flexibility to organize your game storage.
