Recommended: Method 2

==== Method 1: Steam client backup ====

  - log in
  - in menu: //Steam → Backup and restore games…//
  - Backup currently installed programs
  - select the games
  - select the target folder (may be on external HDD or network drive, but not network folder)
  - choose a file name, hit the down arrow besides "file size"
  - select "custom…" and enter 4000 (for FAT32 targets) or 16000000 (NTFS/Linux file systems)
  - click "next"
  - on target: back to step 1, select //Restore a previous backup// in step 3 and follow the wizard

==== Method 2: manual copying ====

  - stop all running downloads
  - log out of steam
  - open folder ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\''
  - copy the folder ''common'' and all ''appmanifest_…'' files onto external HDD or network drive
  - on target, copy all files in new folder on desktop
  - move (!) the files to ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\''

===== Steam Ports (Transport Layer) =====

Many university and school networks as well as some proxy servers, may block ports required by steam. Although it is not possible to change the steam port configuration, in some cases starting steam in [[#Launch options|TCP mode]] may allow you to bypass firewalls.
