Hi my new HP laptop came with only 256Gb on ssd. So I want to play games on my old laptop by using a USB wire between both laptops? Because if I install all the game on my new laptop all the memory will be used up. I have the game launchers on both PC's. All games are from steam. I hope some can tell me if I can play games on my new hp from old PC to save memory on new laptop?
Thanks for your info.

You have USB-C port. I recommend you get an external SSD drive, 1 or 2 TB in size, USB-C and install the steam games on it.
Your game library will show up and the games will download. You could sell you old laptop and use the proceeds to buy the external drive. Do not get an external drive that has HDD (physical hard drive). Get only the SSD type of external drives.
