Some games and apps just work better on Windows. If you can't live without your favorite non-Steam titles or apps, it’s worth considering.

Installing Windows on your Steam Deck unlocks access to a wider range of games and software that aren't available on SteamOS. Plus, it's the ultimate way to turn your handheld into a full-fledged portable PC!

Because you can't resist the allure of endless tinkering and customizing, just like any true PC enthusiast.

Honestly, stick with SteamOS unless you have a specific game or software that absolutely requires Windows. It's simpler and works great for most people.
