Is there a way to change the install path, or is C:\ the only location for game downloads ?

1. Copy steam folder on C:\ to D:\
2. Run Steam.exe on D:\

or

1. Install Steam into D:\Steam and do NOT quit the installer when it says it done
2. Copy Steamapps folder into D:\Steam\steamapps
3. Now quit the Steam installer
