Hello, I’m a player from China. I followed your method to download Windows 11, and I’ve also upgraded Steam OS to version 3.6.9. However, my Bluetooth settings and sound are not working properly. I’ve also tried Windows 10, but it didn’t work either. Do I have to install it in the exact order shown in the tutorial? I don’t think it should matter, but why isn’t it working? By the way, I’m using the Steam Deck OLED.
Hi, I am having the same problem with Bluetooth, in this case, I swapped the same SSD with Windows 10 installed from LCD version to the Oled version, installing the drivers from wifi works nice, but BT presents an error. Maybe I forgot an extra beta install. I will provide updates later.
I was looking for an update of beta again like crazy, then I got a notification from firmware update, and returning to Windows the Bluetooth logo appeared. Now BT works nice :)
Should you dual boot windows through an SD card or is there any way to specifically have games on windows just go to an SD card instead of the internal SSD?
I would suggest partitioning the internal SSD and then installing windows there. The games can then go on the SD card using BTRFS drivers for windows and steamOS. There's many guides on UA-cam for how to use the sd card like that. Also if you always want the games to go to the sd card then you'd have to set up a steam library folder on the SD card via steam storage settings. Then select that always, similar to how you can install games on multiple drives with windows desktops.
In the boot manager i don't see my pen drive or an micro sd card to boot from. I see them in steam os as a storage device. Not sure why i dont see them, its all up to date. And installed windows.
On the strambe deck lcd after having installed all the drivers from steam website and all the patches from Windows update on Windows 11 i have four devices not recognized on device manager ; which are the driver for them ?
You can install on SSD for best performance, then store the games on the SD card. You can also format it as BTRFS and use the sd card for both windows and steam. There's many guides on UA-cam about how to do it.
This was a guide for windows only which completely removes steamos. You can fo a dual boot setup which i have covered before but it still breaks to often for me. To get steamos back you will need to do a reimage of the deck. Guide for that is here on the channel in the steam deck playlist

Hello I have a few questions to see if these are able to be resolved. We've installed windows on a SD card, and set it up with no problem, it works fine but there is a few issues. The wifi adapters do not work for some reason, we have installed all the drivers from Steams Windows page, it connects via LAN fine but wifi is preferably. The rockstar games launcher won't sign in properly when launching GTAV through steam, we sign in, then it just closes and then never boots GTAV, another attempt will prompt sign in again and the circle continues.
Cant install because windows was trying to find a partition to install. That part was never in the video. I'm not sure how people followed it, but I could never follow along :/
hi when i shut down my steamdeck win 11 os every opening when i turn on its stock on and not opening and the fan is noisy i need to press the power button to off it and press power on before he actually boot up thanks
Handheld companion has a problem for me where it doesn’t open at all I restart wait etc and it wont open . Only thing that works is reinstalling it but I hate doing that every time I’m trying to play something
This is not a dual boot guide. I have those guides on the channel but dual boot always breaks eventually with steamos updates and then you have to redo everything again and i got tired of that. So i have two Decks. One with windows one with steamos. Valve is still working on an official dual boot method. When that happens I will cover it
How do you make the games work on each app? Because I tried downloading battle net but I was not able to play the games. Do I need another app or something?
Its just like any windows pc. Nothing special. All i do is download and install the launcher i need like battlenet or others. Login. Download the games. Nothing special. Nothing different from any windows pc. Controller support tho i talk about in the video. If notnusing steam u need HCC for controller to work but that has nothing to do with downloading and running the games

Hi everything works fine except Bluetooth for me I went for beta 3.6.9 just like in the video just in case too so I wonder if it did not work bc I should’ve chosen the most recent there was
Btw it only doesn’t work for Bluetooth audio devices other 2 categories (display and accessories) seems to work fine but it straight up says connexion is impossible for the audio without even letting me try to connect something in the first place note that also I did not have the Bluetooth icon popping up after the “operation success” stuff
Ypur going to need third party software for controller, tdp, fan, hotkey support and more. I use Handheld Companion for windows on Deck for everything. Heres a link github.com/Valkirie/HandheldCompanion
Depends on whether you want to install windows games on the SSD. You could go around 100gb and then install all the games on an SD card. (There are videos on UA-cam about using BTRFS drivers to use the same sd card on both windows and steam) If you want to install games on the SSD then around 200 to 300 gb should be good, and then when you play on SteamOS use the SD card to store games instead.
How can we switch to Steam and windows operating systems? I want to know how to switch from Steam os to windows. And how do windows switch to Stame os?
BCS the Screen uses mipi (Dk the correcrt Interface they usw ) and Not Displayport Windows doesnt have mipi HDR Support, so ITS nothing valve can do about it.
But lossless scaling changes the entire landscape of pc gaming especially in terms of devices that are somewhat under powered. Lossless scaling would boost the living hell out of this system’s performance. The heck with HDR. You wanna run AAA games at 90 fps you sure as heck are gonna do it & it won’t be low settings. You are gonna get 60 fps on max settings & maybe 90 fps & we are talking new games where the Deck would be praying for 30-40 fps natively. & it’s gonna boost all of your games. 100% of them. Increasing framerate 3x or 4x on everything you own.
It almost doesn’t even matter what the specs are on any windows device you own once you unlock the power of lossless scaling, revolutionary tech that steam deck on its own simply cannot run.
