Transferring games between Steam accounts is not generally supported by Steam due to DRM protection. If you require access to your games on a new account, consider using the Steam Family Sharing feature. This allows you to share your library with up to 5 accounts and 10 computers. To set up Family Sharing, go to Steam Settings > Family > Authorize This Computer, log into the other account, and authorize the library.
