Does this setup replace SteamOS? No, Windows runs from the microSD and the internal SSD remains untouched.This section will help answer some of the common questions you may have about this guide/process: This will direct a viewer to a specific section in any of the guides you find on this site.

If you find the below helpful, I appreciate your support by subscribing to my YouTube channel. Until then, here’s how to install Windows to a microSD card. When Valve releases their official method for dual-booting, I’ll document it as well. If you also prefer this approach, the instructions below will guide you through the process. The obvious caveat with this method is that you will need two separate microSD’s (one for your typical SteamOS games and a 2nd for Windows). However, I personally prefer not to have the dual-boot option on the Steam Deck and instead run Windows from its own microSD. There are unofficial procedures for dual-booting Windows + SteamOS on the Steam Deck. I get it, that’s why the instructions below have been added to this guide. You may also just want to pop in a microSD, boot into Windows and do some other non-gaming related tasks. But, there are also many that it can’t and require Windows. SteamOS works well, has a great compatibility layer (Proton) and can run many Windows PC games just fine.
I have certain reasons why I want to use it as a PC, as you may as well. However, the Steam Deck is a PC and as such some are going to want to use it as a full blown Windows PC – even just to take it for a test drive.
I love the SteamOS as it is and the Desktop Mode is a great feature. Is running Windows on the Steam Deck for everyone? No, of course not. Video: Steam Deck Windows Install to a microSD with Full Driver Support!
