Transferring Steam Game Progress

Off Topic Game Station
1

Alright, I need some help.
You may not know, but my PC is jacked up.
So, today, I decided to reset it.
Here is my plan:

  1. Put important files on USB
  2. Reset
  3. Import files on clean computer
    Alright, so what I wanna know is how to transfer all of my game progress. If possible. So, could someone tell me what files I need to port over to my USB so I could sign into Steam like nothing happened?

Also, if needed, here is my Steam ID if you need to know any of the games I have:

Your game progress (on most games) should be saved to the Steam Cloud, I believe.

That being said, games like to store a lot of info in your Documents folder, so I would check there for any game folders.

Personally, I like to take shortcuts where possible, so I would (if you have a external drive or something of size to do this) copy the actual installs from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common, then on the new computer, transfer them to the same directory while steam is closed to prevent having to redownload all your games ;). It does nothing for save files, but it’s useful if you have alot of games, not having to redownload them all.
