Can Steam Deck run Windows?

Best Answer

Yep, it sure can. Though, why you'd want to turn this gaming masterpiece into a regular ol' Windows machine is beyond me. SteamOS is where it's at!

Absolutely! The Steam Deck is basically a compact PC, and you can indeed install Windows on it. Valve designed it with versatility in mind, so while it comes with SteamOS (a Linux-based OS), you're not locked into using it. You can partition the SSD to run both SteamOS and Windows, or just go full Windows if that's your jam. Just remember, swapping to Windows might require a bit of tech know-how to get everything running smoothly.
