How to dual boot Windows 10 on Steam Deck

Best Answer

Just don't. While you technically can dual boot Windows 10 on Steam Deck, it's a hassle and not worth the performance trade-off. Stick to the native SteamOS for the best experience.

Dual booting Windows 10 on your Steam Deck isn't officially supported by Valve, but it's doable with some tech savvy. First, make a backup of your Steam Deck in case things go south. You'll need a Windows 10 ISO file and a way to create a bootable USB drive. Use the Steam Deck's boot menu to boot from your USB drive and follow the Windows installation process. Remember, you'll be partitioning your storage, so plan how much space you want for each operating system.

But, if you're like me and enjoy the challenge, the reward of having both OSes is pretty cool. Make sure your Steam Deck is fully charged or plugged in, and keep a reliable guide handy!
