For those interested in installing Windows, you’ll need a few additional drivers to have the best experience. Links to these, along with notes for installing Windows on Steam Deck can be found at Steam Deck Windows Resources.
-
- A few quick notes about these resources.
- For now you can only perform a full Windows install. While Steam Deck is fully capable of dual-boot, the SteamOS installer that provides a dual-boot wizard isn’t ready yet.
- Also for now, you can only install Windows 10. Windows 11 requires a new BIOS that is currently in the pipe (which provides fTPM support) and will be shipping soon.
- Drivers are provided for GPU, WiFi, Bluetooth & SD Card Reader. Audio drivers are still in the works with AMD and other parties – but you’ll still be able to use Bluetooth or USB-C audio with Windows on Deck.
If you get stuck and need a way back to the default Steam Deck OS, please follow these recovery instructions.
