Steam Deck now with official support for Windows 11

The Steam Deck is a huge hit among gamers and, despite its now slightly older hardware, remains an excellent choice in its category. The mid-term refresh with an OLED screen was also a good decision. Much of this success is due to SteamOS, which is based on Linux and runs games more efficiently than Windows.

Other competitors, ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion, MSI Claw... use Windows. However, there are already projects that can be used to load SteamOS onto competing devices. One of these is HoloISO, but installation is not exactly easy, so many people will not even try it or even hear about this option.

Fortunately, users of the popular portable gaming console Steam Deck will be able to install and use the Windows 11 operating system more easily from now on. The company Valve has finally prepared official drivers for the popular operating system. Official drivers are available for both the older version of the Steam Deck LCD portable game console and the newer version with an OLED display. Official drivers are available for download at https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6121-ECCD-D643-BAA8.

Of course, it's important to note that Windows may not be the best choice for certain users of the Steam Deck portable game console. The pre-installed SteamOS ensures better responsiveness, as it is more adapted to stationary equipment. On the other hand, with Windows 11, we can play almost all games that were prepared for both PCs and Xbox gaming consoles.
