So I just built a new computer and I'm about to boot it up. How do I transfer my Steam games to my old computer (since I don't want to redownload them all, which would take forever on my connection)? Do I just have to copy and paste the Steam folder or do I have to do something else? Also of note: my new computer runs x64 and my old one had x32.

copy steam folder to it's own drive, migrate the drive to every new system and never have to install/download games over again.
4+ OS migrations and going.
