Heads up, you'll wanna make sure you backup any important files on your SD card before formatting. The Steam Deck will wipe it clean, so save what you need first!
Honestly, just plug it in and follow the on-device prompts. It's almost too easy.
No need to overcomplicate it. The Deck handles formatting, so you don't need a computer science degree, just a couple of button presses!
