No its linked to steam

No idea if it will work or not but its worth a try
So what i did with GTA, i had the social club version of the game and wanted the steam version without downloading it all again
All i did was set the steam download path to the social club install of the game and deleted the exe for the game.
So you could try delete the rainbow6.exe then set your steam download path to where the uplay copy of the game is and see if it works.
I know it works for GTA, no idea if it works for siege

Would i need to use a different hard drive for it?

Ok so i'm assuming you bought the game on steam yea?
So try this, Start installing the game on steam but pause it as soon as it starts downloading
Then find where you have rainbow 6 installed with uplay from the free weekend
Then drag and drop all the files from the uplay install into the steam folder for rainbow
so for me its:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

but depends where you install it on steam, it will ask where you want to install the game when you start the download on steam
delete the RainbowSix.exe then carry on installing siege on steam
It should do what GTA 5 does and recognize all the game files in the folder and only download the exe again which takes like a minute max even if you have trash internet

Again, i've never tried it work siege but it works with GTA 5 fine, i don't really see any reason why it shouldn't work if you've bought siege on steam

Edit: apparently the default uplay install path is:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
So just move the "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" folder into the steam common folder

I don't have uplay copy of the game so i can't confirm if that is the right path to find the folder or not

It kinda worked, it has more than half of the files (29,5gb) So i can download it overnight.Thanks for the help :)
