steam client question

I have 24 games NOT installed on my steam client because if i do then that drive will only have 60gb on it which as you know is the size of 1 good new game.

Is it possible to download steam client onto my other drive , using same login details etc and put those 24 on that copy of steam , if possible i know i would need a separate desktop short cut and that drive will have 135 gb left.

If that does not work i will have to put another ssd into my pc which is something i have never tackled.

I have been told putting games on an external portable ssd is not a good idea even if i never intend to unplug it
 
If I'm understanding the problem right:

In the Steam window go to Steam>Settings>Downloads>Steam Library Folders and click on the plus to add a library folder on whatever drive you want thats currently connected to the computer.

If you want to move stuff onto an SSD for faster loading/better performance you can keep games youre not actively playing on another hard drive or external mass storage drive and move them to the internal SSD to play from there.

i already have 2 ssd , the steam client is on 2nd drive and all other stuff on my main drive.
As i have more free space on my main drive i just want to know if i can put a second copy of steam with same details on my main drive and just install the games that wont fit onto the client i am using now.

Se my post above :) You dont need another install you just need another library folder.
 
When you install a game, you get this screen:

Where it says "Choose location for install", you can pick anywhere you like on your PC—it has option "Create a new library in D:".

Leave the Steam client alone, you only want one copy of that—I suspect a second could muck things up.
