Steam now natively offers an easy way to move a game from one drive to another.
First, you must create a "Steam Library Folder" on your new drive, by navigating to
Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Foldersand clicking Add Library Folder. I recommend creating a new folder on the drive called 'Steam Library' or similar to use as your library folder.Next, for the game that you wish to move, right-click on it in the games list and navigate to
Properties > Local Files > Move Install Folder. Select the newly-created steam library folder from the drop-down list, and hit Move Folder to move the game to the other drive.This process may take a while to complete, depending on the size of the game and the speed of your drives. Once the game has been moved, Steam may perform a quick "Download" (which actually downloads little or no data), presumably to verify the game files.
