Very important this does not work with steam deck OLED as drivers aren’t available from steam yet.
well i didnt see this until i started, so how do i reverse this? im to the part where its searching for network.
Oh just when I downloaded and tried
@@jacobogburn2177 I am in same situation
@chiefsweet how can I get off from “let’s connect you to a network ?
They’re available now
This is how a tutorial should be. I wish I could do more than just like and subscribe. AWESOME!!
very much appreciated
@@ChiefSweet Hey Chief! I have one question about the steam deck. Once you have windows installed, can you go back to SteamOS? Or are you stuck on Windows. Also, once Windows is installed, how do you get rid of it? I just want to know this before I do this with my Steam Deck. Thanks!
@@Eris-in-Paris you can simply reinstall steam os. Won’t be a issue at all.
Does installing windows to the steam deck overwrite the Linux system. If so then u now have a windows based handheld system.

This tutorial is amazing straight to the point and no over explanation
This is an amazing tutorial. I am most definitely not tech savvy and almost all the other videos I watched sounded like a foreign language to me. This was straight to the point and thorough
Thank you for the straight to the point video without all the stupid shit other creators do with zooming in and out, cut aways to a picture for LOL effect or a billion jump cuts, good sir!! Watched it once just to see how it works and now I'm about to rewatch and install Windows 11 on my freshly installed 2TB M.2 on my new Steam Deck.
Appreciate you
Nice and easy. It's important to note, though, that you should update SteamOS before attempting this, because it may also be updating your system's BIOS.
Hi, this tutorial helped me SO much. I’m not the most tech-savy person, but I was able to do this by myself! It made perfect sense and was straight forward and to the point. Keep up the great videos 😊❤
That’s awesome to hear!
Were u able to go back to gaming mode?
If anyone is having an issue where your using a HDMI through a dock to install Windows 11, and your screen is showing as messed up blue and white lines but on your monitor working fine. Keep following the tutorial, this rectifies itself once you have installed the 'Aerith Windows' file from Steam.
This sorted the issue for me and I could unplug the dock and use the Steam Deck screen rather than the monitor.
Spent ages trying to search the web and fix it before installing the drivers from steam website.
Thank you
THANK YOU!!!!Just installed windows on my deck with no issues. You got yourself a new subscriber! Great job on this.
Dude, no lie, I didn’t think I could do this. I thought that I would mess things up the the process.
BUT IT WORKED! I’m currently playing Cod (thanks to your other video) and Cyberpunk. This is a game changer! Thanks man!
is the FPS similar to Steam OS?
you could play cyberpunk on steamOS already
@@ethanvonachen7711I couldn’t at the time. I could buy, but not play.
@@roswellquas9974I can’t really say. Sorry.
Many tutorial in YT have intro's half the length of the whole video, this one is staight to the point. Liked and subscribed. Keep it up.
appreciate it
2:40 minor correction - You say to delete the "Primary" drives, but in the video you also delete the "System" drive as well. Then only 1 unlabeled drive is left.
You just delete all the drives just like he did
It confused me too
Same got confused I deleted it
Thank you for these comments. I was so confused when it was left with two drives.
Dude I love your tutorials. The information sequence is always linier and it never branches off outside of the task at hand.
Thank you
@ChiefSweet do you have to keep the usb in after installing or does it just now work without it like it's on freakin life support
I was not expecting it to be the exact same process as most computers. Awesome.
Just here to hit the like button, because I always support the Chief, even when I don't have a steam deck
Gang Gang!
This was a very concise tutorial with no random fluff or BS, great job!
Appreciate that
@@ChiefSweet i have been experiencing slow load times whenever i open up applications, games or even navigate windows. it takes a few minutes to fully load i suppose. have you experienced this? if so any recommendations on how to fix it? i have a fast sd card, so i dont think that is the issue, could be something with drivers or something
@@drago7635 it is the sd card it doesn’t have the speeds of the ssd internally. This is normal the sd card may write 100mbs but the ssd does Gigabytes a second.
@@ChiefSweet I had a feeling. So there is no real way to solve this it sounds. i am also getting some random crashes from time to time on warzone (dont know if you play it), could it be the write speeds on the sd card capable of doing something like this. Most of the time the game is stable, but over some time it will randomly crash giving me an error. Done multiple installations, wifi is strong, verify files, even increased virtual memory. last thing that comes to mind is the sd
This is very helpful and straight to the point!
Thank you 🙏
even after a year,still works
Can i do this for free or do i need to pay for windows or smthing
Clear and concise! Getting my deck here soon!! Can I still use an SD card with windows 11 for games?
Oh yeah 100% can use the sd card for games.
Amaxing video. Right to the point with clear instructions. Quick question. If i wanna move from windows back to steam OS, do i just go into bootloader and load each?
Straight to the point!!!!! Bravo sir
Thank you 🙏
Hey great video 1 Question , when you loaded the boot manager and selected the usb , was it that quick to start the windows process or did it take awhile with the steam logo just on the screen ?
It depends on system really some have had hour load times some have had instant
@@ChiefSweet ok Thank you I have the Best Model Deck so I’ll let it sit for awhile.
Perfect tutorial, no nonsense. THANK YOU!
No problem
@@ChiefSweet bro... after I finished this, why was your next video a video saying that win 10 is better than 11?? come on maaaan
@@ryandombrowski9004 haha trust me I feel like I’m the only youtuber who thinks that everyone else thinks windows 11 but for steam deck definitely go windows 10.
Dude, thank you from the bottom of my heart, it’s been almost 2 years without sound and it fixed it, your so amazing
You didn’t think to install sound drivers?
@@skooby95i tried so much, trust me this is the only video I have found that works
@@skooby95lmao some people are braindead
Very informative thank you for the video tutorial chief!! Game on!
glad I could help
Your video tutorial was epic and well done. Thank you so much for the help!
Hey great video! So what about the track pads and built-in controller buttons and such on the deck? Will they work automatically with this setup, and will emulators recognize the controller without any crazy messing with the config?
You need to install the steam beta to enable full support and functionallity of the controllers
@@DigitalChema how? And keyboard work, like steam+X? Or no
@@melvinmendez8554 Just enable beta software on steam settings and ad -gamepadui on the direct access path to start the software, I do not use the steam keyboard when outside steam games, I use the default one for windows
@@BriFiConnections That's super weird, I been using SWICD and works exactly like the default driver on SteamOS, also I have been able to run all games without issues, Games like Cyberpunk run more stable and with 5-10 more fps when compared to steamos with proton
This is by far the best and simplest way!! I did it wrong at first and lost hope because I downloaded the wrong thing. Hopefully it will work this time now that I can do it properly. Thank you.
Awesome!! I can't wait to get home and follow your instructions. Thank you very much for this video. 🙏🏼
No problem!
If people trying to install this into the main SSD make sure u press Delete the Storage of the Main SSD it will delete everything on the main SSD that contains a lot of GB's than it will reappear and tap new on it and tap apply and than it will allow u to install Windows on your Main SSD. I have a 2TB main SSD and wanted Windows to install on it.
Thank you so much. Honestly the best tutorial on this I have seen. I am now running Windows 11 perfectly thanks to you. You earned a like and sub. Keep it up.
Thank you 🙏 happy to help
Thank you very much Chief your an absolute joy to watch
Question: How does one go back to the SteamOS from Windows 11 once it's booted on the Steam Deck?
i had no idea that steam supported windows on the deck, pretty impressive!
It’s not supported
You’re replacing the steam os
Not officially supported. Valve needs to work on this and make it fully compatible just like other handhelds did.
@@sisero_05 Why would they do that though?
@@clichayed because there are like 5 billion reasons?
Awesome tutorial! One question though, will this affect anything stored on a microSD card or the SSD already in the Steam Deck?
Only delete everything on the ssd. The micro sd card will still have all contents it had before
@@ChiefSweet Ah ok, thank you! :)
Is it possible to swap back to the Linux operating system after doing this? Like being able to swap between the two whenever I want?
no that's dual boot and it's not available yet , thanks valve for it
Your tutorial worked perfectly and was easy to follow! Thank you so much!
Can you please tell me how to get a sound drive?
I know this is a bit more of a weird question, but is it possible to dual-boot on the Steam Deck?
I know that, with Steam, you can just run big-picture mode, and that the Steam OS is pretty much just big-picture mode, but I'm just a little curious on this one.
Thank you. :)
yeah you can dual boot, just search on RUclips so many video tutorials! its honestly amazing! as long as you can follow instructions well, you should be fine
Fantastic tutorial. Thank You
Awesome tutorial but I'm stuck on the internet part I can't skip it or type is there a way to pull up like an on-screen keyboard or skip it
Same I’m stuck
Did you figure it out?
@@HRSGAMING677 did you figure it out?
I got it to work
There's an Option where you can use your router to log in
You rock bro gonna try this out today when I get my flash drive but my other question is do you need to leave the flash drive in everytime you boot up windows?
Awesome vid, could you do a vid on how to dual boot? You are the only RUclipsr who actually does good tutorials!
Thank you so much!
Is unknown devices in device manager normal? I installed the auto detect driver from amd software after ur video instructions and it installed a few more drivers which helped my steamdeck run ALOT better. Just thought it might be helpful. Thanks again for the video!
Adding this video to my liked videos so I can do this when I get my steam deck. You made this look easy
Absolute legend i cant believe its worked! I had to put you on the big screen did run through the zipped files a little fast my fingers sweating while im pressing delete buttons like my life depends on it but yes it worked an thank you so much dude 🎉❤
@@benwarren6762 happy to help
Hey man, don't know if you'll reply or not but I have a question (sorry if its a long one). After booting into windows, I didn't turn my steam deck off for days. I did all installation steps and it worked great for a while! Then, my system crashed due to a FlStudio crash, and when I turned it all the way off and back on again. It completely reset the driver, or... I at least think it did. It didn't work for the rest of the night. Now when I boot it up today it worked unexpectly while typing this to find out the exact information (kind of funny). I had an sd card with roughly 250gb of files on it and was removing it to check if the files were okay. Im not sure if maybe the sd card messed it up when restarting. Either way I just want to know if you see any red flags with what I'm saying here, and how I could address the potential problem if so. Thank you for reading all this if you did!!
I have a question...Once windows 11 is installed can you still boot up to steam OS like is it dual boot capable? Also in windows 11 does the trackpad work as a mouse and does the controller still work or do you have to set that up? THANK you!
It’s single boot and you can download drivers to make everything such as the trackpad work
Newb question. Do you need an external keyboard to do this? I am trying to download the windows drivers, but there’s no keyboard on the touchscreen of the deck and my Bluetooth keyboard isn’t connecting.
Thanks!
How are you able to go back into the game mode for the steam deck? Also am I still able to use the keyboard built into the steam deck or will that not work. Cause I don’t wanna have to use the keyboard and mouse all the time
Thank! I'll have to try this later. Dumb question but is this free or do i need to purchase windows?
its free! windows will try hard to get you to buy it though hahaha
Nice! Now I’m more convinced to buy the Steam Deck. Very awesome innovation. Thanks for the video. Much love from Singapore.
No problem
Does this wipe all of your previous files from Linux?
Btw, as of 8/17/2024, OLED now has support and I followed everything the same way and it worked. Thank you!
The files are different though, but on VALVE's notes where you download them, they explain the differences.
@ChiefSweet - Am I to assume the steamdeck controller will work then or are there additional settings / tweaking needed to get that to work?
Additional settings needed I have video on that as well
Thank you for this tutorial, one problem though, keyboard wont open on Edge for me. Any tips??
Hi @ChiefSweet, does it work for the Steam Deck Oled ?
Sir so basically the windows is installed on ssd right ? Can i know, what ssd size is recommended ? 1tb or 2tb to make sure everything running smoothly ?
Thank you!!! This was so easy and works perfectly
Hi, Just wondering what is the best way to keep drivers updated for graphics etc
good stuff! quick Q, if I already have win 10 on my deck can i just upgrade it to 11 normally or do i need to do the whole thing from start?
In the settings if it allows you to upgrade go for it. But it may not. If it doesn’t you have to do it from the start
@@ChiefSweet it does yes, got a prompt today which got me thinking. thanks!
@@bigulabot is the audio still broken for Windows 11? Also when they give you the free upgrade is it already activated or do we have to buy it anyways? Since I don't have window 10 activated
@@awesomeruben my upgrade went smoothly. audio working fine. not sure re activation as my win 10 was already activated
@@bigulabot dang, well good to hear about how it went fine, would you recommend upgrading or just waiting?
Thanks so much for this video bro it wasn't long and the steps were perfect I did have to put your video in slow mo though because you talked so quick! Lol but thanks again! 😊
haha thank you. yes later videos I will slow down lol
Thanks bro, this is the best video out there
Thank you so much short and simple 🎉🎉 your the best got a new subscriber
very easy to understand!! thanks for the tutorial!
Hey! I have found that if you are dual booting already and if you want to go to Windows only just do the bios steps but with the sd card that you have been dual booting and all of your files, downloads, and all others will still be there and you will be able to access your internal storage.
buying a 64gb steam deck to spend less cause i have a spare 2tb to install and looking at my windows installation lacking sound on the system is one of the best feelings ive ever felt, i love tech
A perfect tutorial. Will come back to your channel for more, or recommendations if it ever comes up.
Appreciate you
This may be a dumb question but if I still wanted the steam deck OS as well I’d just install windows in a partition right? And just boot to whichever I want to use?
exactly thats really the way to go
i subbed followed it and you make it so easy to follow and understand
Happy to help!
Does this overwrite or in any way negatively impact SteamOS? Or does this method simply install Win11 on the SSD as a separate partition? I'm not confident i understand the purpose of the deletion of the storage drives when selecting where to install.
After installing and restarting, does it automatically ask which OS to boot or do you have to manually select OS by booting to bios?
Some instructions are missing, please advise :D
This is only for Windows, you are deleting every partition that SteamOS uses when you install with this guide.
Will we ever need to update the drivers or anything? Or just going to settings is enough?
Great and easy tutorial! Creating a partition is not necessary?
it took a long time. lol
19 hours for me
Rufus, timekeeper of partitions 💀
Straight to the point that's how video tutorials should be good job :)
You were so comprehensive you definitely got a like and sub
Appreciate you
Legend! Thank you so much, clear and concise tutorial.
Glad to help
Thanks for this video man when I go home I’m going to do it. I’m tired of not being able to play the games I love.
Did it work?
I did it but im having battery issues (it would drain really quickly)
Question if you turn of the steam deck and power it back on will it boot on windows? Might be a dumb question but I just got my steam deck and still learning thanks
But what if I want the Steam Deck to boot using Linux? I assume with windows it will be a dual boot unit? Or it's either the steam deck system or Windows 11? Please explain if you would.
thanksh man.. I appreciateshh theshh videoshh..
Good job man, worked perfectly ❤
Do you know how to switch from windows to steam os?
@carrieray1478 if you're asking me then no, I don't, but it's all nicely explained on Steam's page.
I have a question , so if I do this can I still boot to steamOS or with the tutorial above are we removing steamOS entirely? I’m just skeptical since I had to borrow a friends laptop to download windows to the usb and now I’m ready to do the steps above, but what if it crashes or something.
Yes. Please clarify.
2 questions.
1. Can I use the official steam dock for the usb when installing windows 11
2. Can I access game mode after installing windows?
Yes
超級感謝你其他的教學都看不懂只有你的每個步驟都很仔細好人一身平安
Silly question, im sh** with computers. So I followed your tutorial and got it up and running, however I used a microSD card. I was just wondering if I can now add other downloads to this microSD such as games, etc.? Additionally, just want to clarify that this is intended to replace utilizing the steam "game mode"?
This is gonna replace steam. You can use the micro sd card for games just like steam os. I have a video on how to do that as well
Thanks for the great video! Can I install Rockstar Games Launcher and play GTA V as well in Windows?
Oh yes 100%
Truly a perfect tutorial, thank you.
Thank for sharing this been useful.
I was wondering how do we remove window 11 from steam O/S ?
DiHow did you find the last 6 Missing Windows drivers?
Just did it, but I altered your method to be even easier: with Rufus software and downloading the Windows iso file, you can create an install drive on a MicroSD card and install Windows from there without even needing the USB Flash drive or USB hub. 100% self contained hardware, no additional parts required. Only caveat is that your PC needs a (Micro) SD card slot.
Yes you can do that I have a video dual booting this exact way!
@@ChiefSweet Nice! I will check out that video next. Your tutorial worked amazing, Windows is alive on my SD and busy installing and testing games out. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
question: will you still be able to return to the steam deck gaming mode?
Can you easily switch back and forth between desktop mode and it’s original mode?
Yeah I'm curious about this as well. Like is there a way to switch between the two OS?
Quick question. After all this, can you still go back to the gaming mode and if you can how?
can you install this using the dock from valve? also, could this be done with a micro sd card for the complete wipe of steam os? I want this so bad but I cant afford to mess this up
Also just a heads-up, I used my USB on which I actually had other data on and it was completely wiped when I downloaded Windows 11 on it. I didn't know this would happen so make sure you guys don't have anything else on your USBs! (Or back em up)
Looks really Easy. I don't have a Steam Deck yet bc I wanna just know how it looks like when putting a Windows System on the Steam Deck. I'm amazed that the Win11 ISO didn't Whined about "muhh, you don't have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot Activated, MUHHHH!" - I guess it already haves that and has it Activated. Since this is the First video of your Channel, do you have a Tutorial how to Change a M.2 SSD of the Steam Deck, or Reinstall the Original Steam Deck OS?
hey sorry this is not a related question to the video. But do you know why some games on windows looks really bad rather than steamos? specifically jedi fallen order. i tried installing it on both os and sees a lot of difference..
Great tutorial! How can I switch between windows and steam OS?
Up how to switch
I have a problem. At 3:12 I finished setting up my personal things but all it has done is be stuck on the steam deck logo and do nothing else, I've been waiting for a while now and I don't know what to do.
I'm having the same issue... Did you ever fix it?
how does this work with the controls... will i be able to use my controllers to play games or will i need to do more tweaking?
another awesome video! thanks!!!
question. So is the default desktop OS bad? Like i can still open up Chrome, downloads games and run it (For example Friday night funkin and extract and all that) and having Windows is optional? Or must I have windows to use Chrome download and extract games?
No you can still use chrome and everything on steam OS. You don’t need windows for that
