Valve Updates Steam Hardware Page With Windows Drivers for Steam Deck, Steam Machine
Valve has updated its support page to provide Windows drivers and installation instructions for users of Steam Deck (LCD and OLED versions) and Steam Machine who wish to install the Windows operating system.
Valve, the company behind the Steam gaming platform, has updated its support resources to include Windows drivers and installation guidance for three of its hardware devices: Steam Deck LCD, Steam Deck OLED, and Steam Machine. The update covers driver categories for APU, graphics, SD card reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and audio.
The changes on the "Steam Hardware - Windows Resources" support page are aimed at assisting users who prefer to install or run Windows on Valve's hardware instead of the default SteamOS. While providing the necessary driver resources, Valve explicitly states that it does not offer direct technical support for installing or operating Windows on these devices.
For users encountering issues or needing to revert to the original SteamOS, Valve provides separate recovery instructions. This update reflects Valve's effort to offer flexibility for hardware users, even as SteamOS remains the integrated operating system for its devices.
