Morgan17 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I just now got a new HP Touch-Screen Laptop, and are planning to install Steam onto it.Is it possible to install Steam Games that you already own on another PC/Laptop? That way, I can play the games I own on my old laptop.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeetle Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yes. Simple as that. You just can't be logged into the same steam account on multiple computers at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber01236 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yep.All you need is your account (your steam guard might stop you from trading for like 15 days unless you put in a verified computer name though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo M. Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm 89.43% sure that you can only install games that you dont own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm 89.43% sure that you can only install games that you dont own.Since I've uninstalled and reinstalled games (and migrated to a new computer) I think the 57% is the correct answer. As noted, log in one computer at a time, or you risk all account "nicknames" being locked (and that lovely SteamGuard verification.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenWyvern Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Heh, I remember my mother going "Are you sure you want to buy that game? If the computer crashes or something, you'll lost it forever!". No matter what, I couldn't get her to understand that Steam games can be installed on any computer using my account XD [i didn't add that I could only play them if I was logged in on said computer, it wouldn't have been way too much for her to understand] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least she simply doesn't understand. I love the old people who think they get it but use the references horribly wrong. Like, "It's stored in the cloud, but I have to get it before it rains!"
