Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Like DJ Khaled would say: "Another One", video about our dear and beloved GPD Win Max 2. This time, it is a guide on how to get a multi-boot triple OS build on a single drive, all connected by a dedicated games partition. With this build, you can truly separate gaming, retro gaming, and navigating all while retaining your SD, MicroSD, and USBs free for other uses.

Did anyone get that thumbnail reference?
Please do enlighten me, Klef! xD
@@RemTilak It's based off of the cover of the movie "3 Men and a Baby" 🤣 Needless to say this thumbnail was literally the first random idea that popping in my mind.
@@GameTechTalk wtf xD
Ordered my max 2 today and while searching for related videos I found your channel. Good and humble presentation with confidence, hope you catch attention of much larger audience soon. Would love more videos on Win max 2 😊. Subbed.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the kind words! :)
You're a crazy man and I love it! 🤣🤣
😂😂 I can return the compliment, that fan removal on the Razer Edge, I was like: "This guy is a beast!"
How did you get holoOS and "gaming mode" working? It's always stuck on "verifying installation" for me and seems to be an issue in general with the WIN MAX 2.
Your a beast bro 💪🏽
I try! Thanks for the kind words!
Nice Video, Legend
I appreciate the kind words!
You are so amazing! Will try this once I have my new SSD. Btw, your boot drive is in the 2230 SSD? Planning to upgrade the 2280 as well. Please continue to create more tutorials in win max 2. Thank you
Glad you found it useful YelNatSttocS! My boot drive is indeed the 2230 as it has order priority and I experienced delayed boot times when using the 2280 in conjunction. But as hinted in the video, this could very well have been because of the drive itself, I think it's on its last breath.
Super vidéo Merci ! Même réussi à installer 5 os total, sur le win max 2 2023. Par contre j’ai sauvegardé les drivers du système d’origine (hors ligne et scan pour virus)
Heureux de savoir que tout c'est bien déroulé!
Hej Klef. At the beginning of the HoloISO Installation, the installer dosn‘t show my NVME. Any suggestions? I‘ve searched the Internet but dosn‘t find a solution.
That's weird, and your NVME shows in the bios correct? An educated guess would be that the NVME is formatted in an unrecognized file format in SteamOS. As far as I know, NTFS is not recognized, and if that happens, it is because during the Windows formatting prompt when originally installing Windows, the space was not left unallocated and instead, a drive was created. That can easily be remedied though, in Windows, click the Start button and type: "disk management". Using the tools that'll come up, you can select the drive and wipe it empty (and without a file format), just make sure not to format it as otherwise, you will once more give it a file type.
Cheers and I hope this helps, happy holidays!
Great video, thanks. Did you manage to get SteamOS updates working ok on HoloIso? Mine hangs on startup after updating unfortunately.
Can't say that I have unfortunately, shortly after this video, I wipe the drive to try a "slim down" version of Windows 11, called Ghost Spectre? That build is AWESOME, so I haven't really looked back since as I was out on vacation. For good measures, as HoloISO is not directly from Valve, I'd recommend keeping up with the github and doing a clean install when a new version comes about, hence the advantage of storing games in a separate drive.
Cheers!
@@GameTechTalk Cheers, I actually just got it working by using your “plug in a HDMI cable” trick. It seems the default video output gets messed up when rebooting after an update. So I am now running the latest SteamOS, but unfortunately it has a few too many issues (like lack of working suspend) to be really usable yet. Hopefully GPD will add proper support one day.
@@bluein2red423 Right, btw GPD had a Manjaro distro built for WM2, I think it's a one and done as there hasn't been any semblance of an update since. I tried it, the next boot, literally everything was broken so I decided not to cover it as I'm no Linux expert but yeah, check their website if you're interested. Cheers!
I followed the steps you showed, but when I boot into Steam OS, select "Install Steam OS on this machine" and enter the password and username, click OK select "Yes",, the installer exit to the desktop without any notification :(
Sorry you ran into that issue, I believe I addressed it in the video that it might happen. At the time of making that video, I wasn't sure what caused this to happen but usually, a few boot cycles and it would then work just fine. I hope you got it working eventually, sorry for that.
Hi there, thanks for this amazing guide. Is it really necessary to do a fresh clean install of Windows? Isn't it possible to shrink the existing partition and create the new ones? I'd like to preserve the built in recovery mode, if possible.
Yeah you definitely could do that, it shouldn't cause any problem. If the master boot record is affected (which it shouldn't), you shoudl also be able to rebuild it though that is a slightly different process that is not covered in the video. But should you have booting issues, that's what you want to look up: "repair master boot record". Pleasure is all mine!
@@GameTechTalk Thank you so much for your care. I'll give it a try and comment again for the results.
I just got the 8840u win 4 , can you please make a video on how to use motion assist
I actually do have one, here it is bud! ua-cam.com/video/M3NNxC-BYQs/v-deo.html
@@GameTechTalk thank u!!
Can you make q video about its gyro tried handheld companion im so confused how to make it work properly..i saw a chinese video thats working well on apex legends
That's on the list but I got a few ones to make first, it'll come for sure though! 😊
Sorry, Klef
Your video is of great quality as usual, but the setup and the reasoning behind is something I do not agree with.
1.
Why on earth would you want to boot into the SteamOS bootloader, then go into UEFI and select the OS from there.
When set up properly, all the installed OS can be listed in that boot menu.
Maybe it's not that easy with SteamOS, but usually you rebuild the GRUB menu and all the OS are there.
2.
Bateocera is a useless install.
There is RetroBat on Windows which is closely related to Batocera and features quite a bit of extra options.
The setup is super simple and the result will be quite the same as Batocera.
3.
This is personal preference now, but I do not see the advantage of SteamOS, if there is Windows + Steam Big Picture mode.
Sure, if one wants to have both that is a valid point.
4.
Having all the OS on one drive has its disadvantages.
I keep my Linux and Windows on separate SSDs.
That has multiple advantages
- If one breaks, there is a backup
- If I want to replace one, the other is still in tact
- My games and Windows are on the same drive, but on different partitions. Same for my Linux and work files. That way in 99% of my needs I only read from one disk, which keeps the other one idle and saves maybe a bit of power.
I see thst your setup is very gaming centered. I plan to make a video covering more Windows and Linux for gaming and work setup.
On a positive note: It's great how detailed the setup tutorial is. Many people will value that a lot I'd say. Especially if they really want to go for a triple boot setup :)
No worries, any form of input is welcome. I tried something different, we'll see how the video performs over time but if just for comments and feedback, it's valuable all the same, like yours! 😊
1.
I mention near the end that boot names can be addressed by I don't go into details. Grub2Win is the way I'd go about it as well. Great suggestion!
2.
I see that as a personal matter, some people like an OS dedicated to a specific use. Batocera is a great solution for drag 'n drop progression, plus all the baked-in convenience features. But to your point, there is the possibility to build better elsewhere given the time and effort.
3.
But people like SteamOS, what can I say! 😂 Also, WINE improves on some games performance over running them natively on Windows, crazy I know, but true.
4.
Totally, my guide is geared towards someone that doesn't do these things regularly, because if they did, let's be honest, they wouldn't watch nor care for that guide, they wouldn't need it. I decided not to overcomplicate things as it's really easy to mess up these kinds of builds. But maybe that "easy-to-follow" format was a little too basic? You guys tell me. ❤
And yeah, my MiniPC critics have been very navigation oriented, but I have to find a balance to also address gamers, which I am at heart so that setup was gaming first, productivity second no doubt.
Tks for all the feedback Mystechry, these conversations are very valuable and insightful to me. Cheers!
@@GameTechTalk This is a nice gaming setup and it's great to see Batocera to run on the Max 2.
On my Intel Prototype it did not work, because the Kernel it was running at that time was not compatible with the panel and there were green stripes all over the place.
The guide surely was not too basic, as I consider setting up 3 OS on one disc to work nicely is more advanced than setting up each OS on its own drive ;)
It's mostly a matter of perspective I guess.
You'll do yours and I'll do mine. The more perspectives we get out there, the better ;)
Hi, can you help me make a dual boot for my win 4? Windows and gpd os
Hey sorry, I was on a healing journey so I've been staying away from YT for some time. I believe this video can give you the "general gist" kind of guideline, just skip whichever OS you don't care for and go from there. Did you ever end up getting it done?
I dont have that ip3 event filter device for the unknown drivers on installing the wm2 drivers on windows. Just got the bosch accelorometer after installing the amd drivers and chipset..what is that for?
And the link of debloos is gone already
Just finish the installation of steam os..but when i reboot it got stuck always on verifying installation..i can hear the steam sound..but wont go further..i even reinstall..still the same..i have read some fixed on this that we need to go to desktop mode but is there a permanent fix for this alreay?
Plug an HDMI, in and out and that should fix this issue you are describing. That error is inconsistent, I've seen other people have it, some not. I got it at times than others I haven't. It's definitely not a flawless solution as you can see but it's the compromise we have to put up with until something better comes about. I use a HDMI dummy to fix it easily on the go.
Hi, my GPD WM 2 (2023), internal SSD (2280) may be in trouble, can I using 2nd SSD (2230) slot to install new OS? Just to make sure the problem is really in SSD. GPD promise to send new 2280 SSD to me if indeed the SSD is broken. If after do this the problem still persist, I may need to send it back to China for them to replace it.
Yes you can, the second SSD slot, just as the first, can both be used to be a MBR (master boot record), that's something that can easily be set when installing Windows if you format both drives. It's a little more complicated if you do while keep currently existing OSes but it's feasible, you have to turn to third-party software to update your boot order and whatnot.
In fact, this video goes about things in a certain order to make sure that your MBR is set properly, making any steps any different can alter that outcome. If I recall, near the end of the video when I show how to change the boot order in the BIOS, I mention an app to make changes if desired, I just don't cover it in that video but you should find plenty that do on UA-cam. Cheers and good luck!
Looks like there is a problem far deep than just an SSD, in fact the SSD seems OK, but even with all my experience installing Windows since DOS era I still can not solve it. The SSD is detected but the installation from USB always stuck on start up right after the GPD logo and circle animation and then period of blank screen until the WM2 shut down. I don't think there is a problem with display either. Now I left with last choice of send it back to GPD but I have to wait until the CNY since they all in holiday until 16 February. I just buy this on December and can only use it for 2 weeks before all the problem happen. @@GameTechTalk
So what you're describing is one of two things in my opinion. #1 is, your files are corrupted on the USB stick and it causes the installation to have issues. I know it sounds uncommon but I find that it happens a lot when creating a media bootable device.
#2 your ram needs to be flushed. That bootable USB dumps everything in your ram to run the installation process, if your ram has stuck/corrupted clusters, it can cause the issue you're having.
I'd recommend re-doing the stick, ideally maybe go for a different one. If that doesn't work, Google a tool to flush your ram, unfortunately, I don't know any off the top of my head but Windows may have that feature when booting in Admin command prompt. My money is on #2, worst case scenario, something is defective and it could be your ram.
Good luck, let me know what pans out! @@st3v4nt
Tell me, can I leave only 50 GB for the Steam OS installation disk partition? I mean, why allocate a lot of memory for Steam OS (400GB), if you can connect a disk partition with a large memory that combines all 3 OS, what is the point of installing games on the Steam OS memory partition, is it possible to install games on a common memory partition which unites all 3 OS?, so there was more access to memory control, because on Windows the Steam OS memory does not recognize, but for example, the batocera recognizes , and if you know, which file system(exfat,ntfs or fat32) work in holoiso(steamos) work?
You can. The one reason why you may want to make it bigger is because the file format is different. And most operating systems will overall operate better with their native file format that it uses. If I remember correctly, there is another one that apparently performs decent and can also be read on Windows but both require third party software, I think it's BTRFS or something like that.
got it, then I agree, it makes sense, also please indicate that you need to manually create a shared partition in ntfs(games), because I've been scratching my head with this all day..@@GameTechTalk
Sorry to hear that caused complications. Glad we got it sorted. Cheers!@@yunesdzhabarin8710
does HoloISO have the TDP overlay like on the Steam Deck? If not, I'll just stick with gamepadUI on Windows version of Steam
Yes it does. In SteamOS, you can do "Menu button" + A and it'll bring the "triple dot" button overlay. The only difference is there is no dedicated button to it! :)
how do you get into the bios?
Hit the DEL key right after reboot, F12 might do it as well. I usually tap it a bunch of times until I am in the bios or I get a prompt saying that we are heading into bios.
Hey, great video. I currently have 3 partitions on my current drive and was wondering if I could just leave some unallocated space by deleting one of them and install holo without having to wipe win 11? my goal is to just dual boot win 11 and holo without wiping win 11. Thanks in advance :)
Sure, that should work no problem, just make sure to edit the space out, and pre-create the partition so that Holo sees it and requests to install on said partition. Pay attention to the size to avoid wiping your main partition, that wouldn't be fun.
@@GameTechTalk yeah tried that already and it worked... Just holoiso itself wasn't great. It still had a lot of issues and couldn't see myself using it over windows.
Was wondering about chimeraOS but I don't think you can dual boot that. Guess the best bet is maybe to wait for a new version of holo.
Hi Pal, I've asked you already but now that you have tried a few more 6800u handhelds, is the Win Max 2 still your preferred device for now? The reason I ask, is because I'm getting close to choosing one and I am favouring the WM2 mainly for the large screen, then using a gpu for desktop gaming. (I have a M1 MacBook 14 and a Switch already, so it wouldn't replace my main laptop) but just wanted your thoughts since testing a few more devices.
The WM2 is an awesome device. I'd pick it.
btw, I'm a proud owner of a WM2 as well. :-))
WM2 all the way. A physical keyboard on a Windows device is a must and the 10 inch screen can't be beat. I initially had the Steam Deck and that had a decently sized screen but when I got the WM2 I couldn't go back.
@@FS-zt6tm Same here. :-)
The Win Max 2 is my preferred device indeed, it's versatility is second to none. It has a bunch of great features that are just solid, well thought out and ultimately useful.
The ergonomics are great and if you print or buy a grip, it's even better. The weight is a bit much for some people, for others it doesn't matter but be aware, it is indeed a hefty device.
However, you can't really go wrong here, your choice may ask you to adapt your approach but that is about as worst as it gets. If you got with AYA, I suggest going for the GEEK, no one has the 800p screen by the way so we don't know how that's going to look.
Cheers!
@@GameTechTalk it's funny...I criticized your video for comparing the WM2 to the Steam Deck saying they aren't competing with one another and belong to different genres. Ironically, I ended up getting a WM2 and selling my Steam Deck. Ultimately, these handheld devices, regardless of their form factor are competing for one thing...your time. I just found myself not using my Steam Deck as soon as I got my WM2, I love this thing.
I want to make zorin os 17,win11 and Ubuntu
I am not too versed in Linux to be honest but I don't see why you couldn't by following the same partition approach. Good luck!
@@GameTechTalk i can make this doing the same steps!?
Hi Aqua, with regards to the shared partition where you'll install games on, does it need to be a specific file system for HoloISO to install and read from? Or can it be NTFS and both Windows Steam and Holo Steam be able to boot the same game installs from?
Oh maybe I edited that part out? My bad! Usually when you go in Batocera, it'll automatically assign a letter and put the drive in NTFS if you haven't done so already but you can also do it manually of course and yes, NTFS is what you want for that drive where you'll store your games. All three OS will be able to see and read off of that drive. Cheers! :)
@@GameTechTalk awesome and thank you for the reply. Gonna prime up my Max 2 and try it before I script out my Arabic review lol, mind if I add a segment to my review where I take a few seconds of your video and tell folks to watch it for setting this up? I’ll leave credits in the video description of course, if you don’t mind.
@Yaqoub Al- Hussaini With pleasure and no problems Yaqoub, you go ahead and snip the parts out that you need. You have a good one bud, thanks for engaging! 😊
@@GameTechTalk very kind of you, will link the video as usual on the GPD Discord if you’re interested, once it’s done.
Thank you!

How to do dual boot steam os and windows only 😁
Just remove any Batocera step lol 😊
Unless you're full stack app development, idk what the need for this would be. Super nerdy.
Options I guess, that and having operating systems dedicated to specific use-cases.
@@GameTechTalk Thank you for proving my point.
@@LordHando Always happy to help! Cheers
