Absolutely! The Steam Deck runs on SteamOS by default, which is based on Linux, but Valve has made it clear that users are free to install Windows if they so choose. You'll just need to follow Valve's instructions for installing Windows on the device, so be prepared for a bit of a setup process, but it's totally doable!

Yes, but why would you want to? The whole point of the Steam Deck is to enjoy the seamless integration of SteamOS and your Steam library on the go. Installing Windows might offer more versatility, but it could compromise the optimized gaming experience the Deck is designed for.

Heads up, installing Windows on the Steam Deck isn't as straightforward as on a regular PC. You can do it, but make sure to check compatibility for the games you want to play. Some users report driver issues and other quirks when running Windows on it.
