    ⚠ IMPORTANT NOTICE: For the New Windows 24H2 Installer at 07.51 in the video, make sure you choose "PREVIOUS SETUP" from the bottom left when beginning and turning your Deck portrait to continue with the setup installer like mine in the video and "don't choose delete everything".
    ⚠ If you don't press Previous Setup and wiped your partition instead with SteamOS booting into GRUB, do not worry and follow this guide to fix - th-cam.com/video/eUDbLkHDeGY/w-d-xo.html

    Awesome. I've been dual booting since your original video and didn't know there was a rEFInd GUI now. Every time there is a major SteamOS update I have to refer back to your "bring dual boot back to life video" to get it working again, it seems like one of these new steps might be helpful to me!

    This seems like a good tutorial but I need an idea here. Is there any way to make it so that windows is secondary but to always boot into steamos first? I honestly see no point to mess with dual booting if it invalidates the main part of the steam deck I enjoy, which is the ability to quickly press the power button and wake into steamos and play whatever game I left out on.

    Grateful for channels like yours so thank you! A couple questions. When I shut down from the Windows side it opens directly back up into windows and not to the selection boot. Did I miss something or can you only reach the selection boot from shutting down from Steam? My second question is regarding steamdeck controller setup. Particularly for Apex. Do you have any videos or recommendations for setup? TIA!

    • @DeckWizard
      @DeckWizard  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Thank you for your kind words and support.
      Check the manual boot of SteamOS and run the Refind GUI again to fix Windows booting, also make sure you installed the dual boot fix.
      For the controller setup, I'll have a guide out ASAP I've just been super busy with games 🙈 but it is coming.
      If you want to look into Steam Deck Tools that is what we need for the controller, otherwise add the game or launcher to Steam and launch it through there.
      If you're playing Apex, download and launch from Steam and it should work.

    Could this be done with an external SSD as well instead of the internal SSD inside the steam deck?
    So you could just plug in the external SSD to boot into the windows install when you want
    I hope that makes sense I really want to dual boot to use certain programs like photoshop and adobe illustrator on my deck but I don't have space and would rather not do it directly on my internal SSD.

    • @DeckWizard
      @DeckWizard  25 วันที่ผ่านมา +13

      Yes absolutely! We can select "Windows External SSD" in the Dual Boot GUI to achieve this and when connected to the Steam Deck the EFI file present from the Windows Installation can be accessed as we would expect ❤

    Does this method limit you to installing Windows 11 on the internal SSD, with the potential risk that offers, or can this method be made to work using an SD card as the windows drive/partition instead? Am reluctant to fiddle with SSD in deck and would prefer the SD card method, assuming you can get the dual boot menus working?

    Why did you partition on internal ssd instead of doing windows on micro sd card?

    • @DeckWizard
      @DeckWizard  12 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Hi there, thanks for your comment. Internal SSD is superior to Micro SD Card in many ways, our internal drive has far better read/write speeds than a Micro SD Card and performance in games is also better.
      Running an operating system, background processes and the expectation of running AAA games all from a Micro SD is not recommended and a lot of stress for the Card which will eventually break as a result.
      Our internal drive is built for these types of tasks and is a much more robust and reliable form of media.
      I hope that helps 😊

    Hey man, great job on the video. I'm not sure whether the Stable 3.6 update messed it up as I did have windows and everything installed on on the beta 3.6 before the proper stable update released. The Method of sharing the NTFS card doesn't seem to be visible on SteamOS anymore, and I'm unable to mount and open the sd card, getting an error of "Bad fs, Bad superblock Etc". However the sd card does still work on my windows partition, and doesn't show any errors when scanning it. Is there a way to fix this without having to wipe the card? and has this happened to you?
    Thanks :)

    One thing to tell people: the new Windows 11 24H2 update is corrupting the system files (whether dual-boot or sole Windows 11) this includes BSOD on the same partition SSD
    I had to reimage multiple times and just did a Windows 10 (up to date patches) instead and its stable without crashes

    • @DeckWizard
      @DeckWizard  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The solution and workaround is pinned to the top of the comments and description, it's an annoying change from Microsoft.

    • @bobbyhill5067
      @bobbyhill5067 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s not the installing part thats the issue; its once you install the Windows 11; after a while, you turn off and turn on the SD, the process hangs (meaning you can’t even move your mouse for a while until you get a “Critical Process Died” BSOD that loops). I know all the work arounds and even spoke with the Clover author. Setting the Memory RAM size in the BIOS from 1gb to 4gb might help but ultimately Windows 11 crashes nonetheless
      1. Definitely not faulty SSD (currently on Wins 10 sole and turned on and shut off SD many times without ever “hanging”
      2. Not a faulty SD OLED - tested with sole SteamOS running for many days - no error
      3. Its better to partition the SSD into another drive of its own to put all the games and programs installed so that if the main “C:/ drive” with the sole Windows file is corrupted with BSOD, you can reformat that Partition only with the Windows while leaving the other partition uncorrupted; all you need to do is reattach the program installation path to that drive where your game is
      Not sure, if you are getting BSOD after couple reboots (or maybe its a select few??) but Windows 10 is the only stable for the SD right now; the problem is that the Wifi driver is still wonky and broken even on Windows 10/11 after reinstalling the official driver. from the Steam Resources page.
      Good tutorial video nonetheless but I just wanted to point this out to potential users who will encounter this problem (many in the r/WindowsOnDecK subreddit)

Then after partitioning and loading Windows, it is just sitting there on that screen. It sat there for 3+ hours until the battery died. Then I tried plugging it in and it did the same thing again.

    What happens when the Steam Deck gets an update?
    I have windows and steam deck installed, it boots into windows when I start it, 'minus + power' and I can select steam os.
    But after a Steam Deck update, steam os disappears from the menu and I have to use 'plus + power' like in this video to access steam os,
    and fix it with this line: "sudo efibootmgr -c -L "SteamOS" -l "\EFI\steamos\steamcl.efi" -d /dev/nvme0n1p1 -b0003"
    I was thinking of clover or other options to avoid this necessary fix, is (this video) an option, or will I still have to do this fix?
