It's A Digital Disease!

I'm going to be upgrading my whole pc setup this weekend. My plan is to install my new os drive , download steam, download a small game in my separate games ssd drive to build the file structure and then copy the contents of my steam apps - common folder from my old HDD to this new file structure on the new drive.

I'm then going to remove the HDD, and in steam download each of the games I've copied, I'm told it will verify and install any files that weren't copied over. Then I can run the games and select my steam cloud backup to reinstall my saves. (I have manual backups of saves too)

My question is will this work? I'm stressing myself out over analyzing all the steps trying to make sure it will work.
