Transferring save data from your PC to your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward! Most times, if you're using Steam Cloud, your progress should automatically sync up when you log into your Steam account on your Steam Deck. Just make sure Steam Cloud is enabled for the game on both devices. If not, you can manually transfer the files. Locate the save files on your PC (usually in the game's folder within the 'Documents' or the game's directory in 'Program Files'), copy them to a USB drive, then plug that into your Steam Deck and copy the files to the same location in your Steam Deck's game directory. Remember, the path might be slightly different, so double-check the game's save file location on your Steam Deck.

I did the manual transfer for a game that didn't support Steam Cloud, and it was a bit of a hassle finding the right folder, but it worked like a charm. Just be patient and double-check the directories!

Actually, for the majority of games, Steam Cloud's got your back. Just log in, and you're good to go. No need to mess with USB drives or folders.
