How to Properly Move Steam, Skyrim, Mod Organizer, and Mods from External HDD to Internal HDD?

So I have an SSD (which I have my OS on) and an external hard drive. I have my steam and Skyrim game and mods installed on the external hard drive. Some of the Skyrim files (by default) are, however installed in the SSD under My Documents. I imagine some files have been installed inside Program Files as well.

 

So my question is how do I move the Steam client and Skyrim game, Mod Organizer, and mods that are in the external hard drive (I would still want the files in SSD to stay there) to my new internal hard drive (non-SSD, for storage purposes) while making sure the game and mods still work?

For Mod Organizer:

Copy/Paste the whole program folder including sub-directories to the new location. Either edit existing desktop shortcuts or delete and re-make. This will include mods that have been downloaded and installed with MO.

 

For Steam and its games (including Skyrim):
