Windows drivers for the Steam Deck are now available.

• Valve has officially released Windows drivers for the company's recently introduced mobile gaming PC.
• However, for the time being, we only support Windows 10, not Windows 11.
• If consumers want to get the most out of their computers, they need install these drivers.
• Because Windows audio drivers are still being developed, sound will be an issue for the time being.

It hasn't been long since Valve officially released its own mobile gaming PC, and fans have swarmed to get their hands on one.

The Steam Deck hasn't received many negative reviews, indicating that it's a reliable portable gaming console.

This new gadget comes pre-installed with SteamOS 3.0, an in-house modified Arch Linux system.

Valve, on the other hand, continuously reminding everyone that their new device is a PC and not a console.

Valve has just begun to distribute Windows drivers for its recently announced hardware, offering owners another option when it comes to operating systems.

The Steam Deck now officially supports Windows 10.

Where should we begin? Bluetooth, GPU, and WiFi drivers for Windows are all available and should be installed for best performance and stability.

If you've been waiting for this and are eager to make the change, you can find more information on Valve's helpful Windows Resources website.

However, there is one critical point to remember. For the time being, only Windows 10 is supported; Windows 11 is not.

Valve has stated that it is working on a BIOS upgrade that will allow fTPM, which is required to install Microsoft's most recent operating system.

Another thing you'd probably like to know is that we can't yet dual-boot with SteamOS and Windows.

Furthermore, Windows audio drivers for the handheld are currently in development, thus the speakers and 3.5mm audio connector will not function.

If you're looking for an alternative method, USB-C and Bluetooth can be used to get audio on Windows in the meanwhile.

Having stated that, Valve will not provide any extra assistance in getting Windows to function on the Steam Deck.

If you want to revert to the old SteamOS 3.0 operating system, simply follow the recovery steps on the official support page.
