      I`ve got some questions about SSD and Win8.

      I already have a PC with a SSD and win8 on it, but i bought this as "pack", so i had no trouble at all to install it, because i upgraded my PC, so i had no important data and a "current" OS.

      But now, i want to upgrade a old PC with a SSD. I have currently a HDD with Win8 on it. No important Data, as far as i know, except some Game Data i want to keep. Only Steam ones.

      I bougt a SSD 120GB for Win8 and maybe 1 Game. Clearly i need to install Win8 on my SSD. My question, what is the best way to do that? I don`t want to mess something up. I want uninstall WIN8 from my HDD as well. Do i have to format my HDD? How can i install Win8 on SSD…via Bios?
      I want to keep my Game Data. Where can i find them(Steam Games)?

      Currently:

      -Got Win8 on HDD
      -Got a new SSD

      What i want:

      -Win8 on SSD
      -uninstall Win8 from HDD
      -want to keep game data

      THANKS

        Game data for Steam games generally depend on the game and not that they're on Steam. Some games keep their data in the game folder (Steam folder -> steamapps -> common), some keep them in My Documents (and some in My Documents in the My Games folder), and some in appdata (users\your name\appdata; it's a hidden folder). Easiest way I imagine is to just find all the save data in those 3 places and copy them onto a flash drive or something, then format your HDD that currently has Win8 on it, install Win8 on SSD, and then copy the save data back over.
