Speaking of recent fun devices, Steam Deck should be on the list, in today's graphics card price is outrageous, the console is difficult to find a machine, Valve this PC handheld is a solution to alleviate the addiction of the game (although it is not available from stock), but in addition to its game performance, many players may be more concerned about it to install Windows system to use.
Steam Deck is actually an x86 PC on the hardware, so it is theoretically compatible with Windows, but because Valve has its own Steam OS (based on the Arch Lunix bottom layer, they mainly do GUI), but the biggest problem with Linux is that there are too few native games, which is a big obstacle for a handheld that plays the main game, valve used Proton technology to make Steam Deck runs games on the Windows platform, although this compatibility layer does a good job, but naturally it is not as direct as Windows native support, so installing Windows on Steam Deck should be in high demand.
Valve is also very generous, the default is to open the Steam Deck boot boot, which is the same as the ordinary computer, so the installation of Windows is almost the same as the general process, boot boot to the Windows installation U disk, and then it is the familiar installation interface, in Tom's Hardware has a more detailed tutorial, and can even do Windows To Go on the microSD card. If you're lucky enough to have a Steam Deck in hand, you can install Windows to play with.
However, because the Windows system is not a native support of Valve, although it can be smoothly installed and entered the desktop, it will lack a large number of important drivers including graphics cards, Wi-Fi, wired networks, etc., which is basically simple and barely able to use, which also needs to wait for Valve to release the driver, but some media said that during their evaluation, Valve pushed several system updates, so before making steam OS more perfect, It is estimated that official support for Windows will take some time.
