I tried installing Windows 11 on my Steam Deck, and honestly, it was worth the hassle for the games that only run on Windows. Just make sure you follow the instructions carefully, and don't forget to back up your data!

Installing Windows 11 on your Steam Deck is quite the tech adventure! First off, you'll want to make sure you've got a high-speed USB-C flash drive ready for the Windows 11 installation media. Next, hop onto Microsoft's website to download the Windows 11 installation media onto that flash drive. Then, you gotta dive into your Steam Deck's BIOS settings to enable booting from the USB drive. After that, it's pretty straightforward: boot up from the flash drive, run through the Windows 11 installation process, and voila! Just keep in mind that drivers might be a tricky part, so check out Valve's official resources for the latest on driver support to get everything running smoothly.
