How to put an SD card in a Steam Deck
First things first, make sure your Steam Deck is powered off to avoid any possible data corruption or hardware damage. Locate the SD card slot on the bottom edge of the Steam Deck, near the USB-C port. Hold your microSD card with the label facing up and gently slide it into the slot until it clicks into place. If it doesn't fit easily, don't force it; double-check that it's not upside-down or backwards. Once it's in, power on your Steam Deck, and it should recognize the new storage space automatically, expanding your game library capacity!

Just pop it into the slot on the bottom, label up. If it feels like you're forcing it, you're probably doing it wrong.
No need to overthink this; just turn off your device, insert the SD card gently until it clicks, and you're all set for more gaming goodness!
Honestly, it's super easy. Just shut down your Steam Deck, find the slot near the USB-C port, and slide the SD card in there. Boom, more space for games.
