You’ll need to use Valve’s kind-of wonky Steam mobile app to verify your logins when you sign into the service on a new PC, but it’s worth the hassle-and using the authenticator function itself is painless. The service urges you to set up two-factor authentication via its Steam Guard tool, but if you’re the type of person (like me) who mindlessly closes Steam’s starting pop-ups, head to Settings > Account > Manage Steam Guard Account Security and set Steam Guard up.

Once you’ve added folders, you’ll be given a Choose location for installation option when you’re installing a new game.

From here, you can add as many folders for game installations as you’d like. Open Steam and head to Steam > Settings > Downloads, then click the Steam Library Folders button. Either way, Steam makes it a cinch to add new folders in which to store your games. Maybe you want to shift all your titles onto a blazing-fast SSD, or maybe you installed a spacious new traditional hard drive that’s just begging to be filled with gaming goodness. You can find a ton of custom grid images on the Steam Banners website or Deviant Art, as well. The fine folks in r/steamgrid on Reddit will whip up custom images for games if you’d like. If you want to add a custom image for the game in your Library’s grid view, just right-click it and select Set Custom Image, then go from there. The process is straightforward from there. Now open the Steam client and head to Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library. Steam still won’t keep the rogue title up to date or save your game to Steam Cloud, but adding non-Steam games to your library lets your friends see when you’re playing the game, and unlocks the Steam overlay feature ( Shift + Tab), including full screenshot and in-game chat functionality.
