Hi Jelkan
Steam downloads to the restrictive Program Files (x86) directory.
This can cause problems if you want to run games like LSH3-2015 as it is not compatible with Steam.
There is a Steam conversion that works well.
This will remove your game from the restrictive directory to where you wish to place it.
Once this is done you can make a copy of it.
Steam SH3 and SH4 are ok as there are easy conversion instructions.
Steam for SH5 is not compatible with an essential application without a more involved conversion process.
Uplay and SH5 is compatible.
Another problem with downloads especially SH4, you do not get the latest game version so there is an additional expense of having to buy the U-Boat Missions add on.
When you buy a dvd game version of SH you actually own something, and re-installing is easy.
