This version of Windows for the Steam Deck will be “shipping soon” although no specific date has been given at the time of writing.įinally, Valve is currently unable to offer ‘Windows on Deck’ support. Valve has assured users this BIOS is in the pipeline and, when it releases, will provide fTPM support. Secondly, only Windows 10 is able to be installed (at least for now), as Window 11 “requires a new BIOS”. This is because, “while Steam Deck is fully capable of dual-boot, the SteamOS installer that provides a dual-boot wizard isn’t ready yet”. However, for those who do wish to install Windows onto their Steam deck, there are a few caveats.įirst of all, to get Windows running on your Steam Deck you will have to wipe its original OS and perform a full Windows install. To have the best Windows experience, users will simply need to download some new drivers (links to these can be found on Steam’s Windows resources page). The company posted a short update on its Steam blog saying, “have we mentioned Steam Deck is a PC? Like any other PC, you can install other applications and OSes if you’d like”.
