Best video I've seen on dual booting the Steam deck. Perfectly executed and straight to the point. Thank you for this.
HUGE shoutout to you, sir! Thank you so much! I was having such a hard time with this! Great tutorial!
Your delivery pace and cadence are excellent and you have a great way of sharing!! Man I love this channel.
Thank you so much for the comment and positivity!
only 3k views on this vid is crazy!, by far the best video on how to duel boot, Thanks so much man!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the positivity and support. :)
This was a great video. I had to reimage my steam deck since my dual boot broke based on someone else video. This was perfect and no issue with windows updates. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
I never leave comments on any videos but I've tried at least 5 other tutorials and failed every time until seeing your video.
Thanks so much!
Way better than sd card as sd cards have a limited amout of reads and writes
Worth the time and subscribed
This was so helpful, the SD card dual-booting is such an awful idea to do so you might as well take the extra time to do this and just get it over with.
Thanks a lot, really works and saved me a whole lot of time with your instructions! Well recommended!
Great to hear!
You deserve a lot of subscriber. Thank you!!
Hi there clover script creator here! Very nice video thanks for making a tutorial for it.
Btw i pushed several updates since this video was published and one cool feature i added is the ability to customize the BGRT logo. Check it out if you haven't already.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out and see about making an update asap. Thanks for the comment and software!
This video was dope thanks for the help bruv and clover is awesome for switching between os
Thanks for this guide. Really useful. Bit of a tip. If you install windows as English (World) in the region / currency select it will actually install without all the bloatware software. Trimming down the install a bit. You can change the region in the OS after in order to access the store etc
Nice tip, thanks!
My screen starts flickering after I try nd go into windows now in happened right after I was updating windows it asked me to restart nd it was over after that I never got back in any ideas?
Great video and easy to follow thanks 🙏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
great guide. thanks!!
Thank you for GUIDE its WORK and EASY!
Glad it helped!
This worked perfect, thanks!
Great to hear!
Sooooooooo freaking easy clear straight forward. I love it!!!!!’
Yeah & the Rick and Morty theme is cool, too
Great vid very helpful thanks
Flawless. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
very nice video, great teaching
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video ! Keep going 😁
Thanks 😁
Thank you so much for this
Great video thank you
@mikethetech I have SteamOS and Efi partition in boot menu, no USB boot device to load in steamOS preinstall. How do i get USB device in list?
Usb must be formated fat32 or ntfi
Just did this! Thank you so much for showing us how to do this! I reset my steam deck to do this too 😂
thats the most fire outro ive ever seen for a tech video
Haha. Thank you! I've got the whole song (and extended one with gaming clips and stuff) on the channel too. @eme7 did a great job on that track.
THANK YOU!
Thanks for this
Happy to help!
i made a new partion on the ssd and went to install windows on my steam deck and it says that it can create or find an exisiting partion but i see where i made the new one in the list above to choose from. any idea on what to do?
So just like on normal PC (desktop or laptop) - there's no any difference as far as I can see.
Thanks for the guide, can i use windows ghost specter instead of normal win 11?
If we want to use the whole drive for windows. Do we skip the steam os kde partition steps?
I am gonna try this I think
Hey btw can I revert the windows download by factory resetting the steamdeck? Just wondering if would want to get rid of windows in the future
Thanks mate finally a non bullshit guide 😂👍🏻
Can I put windows on a micro SD card that I freely remove and re insert for just call of duty?
Great video! Quick question, wouldn’t it be better to have a storage petition where shared games are saved, so if you need by any reason to reset the steamOS or Windows the games are untouched?
Solid idea! Haven’t tried it yet. Will investigate and make a video!
Hello, in KDE they said no valid partition table was found. What do I do ? Create one ?
This video was like smooth criminal.
Question: How can I share the sd card between steamos and windows? And, can it be done without losing the current data in the sd card?
This would be a great video until i read the comments saying they encounter a lot of issues
For the Windows set up I'm getting "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one". I've verified I formatted a portion (200GB) to NTFS. Also deleted then format the partition from within the windows installer. any suggestions?
How do I repartition my drive to revert from Windows back to only SteamOs?
The only tut that didnt brick my system
Thanks
Glad it helped you out!
Any ideas why windows was working the first time I did this (day ago) but now I get bluescreen when trying to boot into it using clover? SteamOS works fine, the error is "Inaccessible boot drive" and it's on my SSD
Steam updates can often break dual boot installs.
Windows 11 Steam big picture mode, i got no wifi. Help.
I have seen on reddit that when a new steam os comes out, some people have had there entire windows install wiped... what are your thoughts on this? Have you had any issues similar to this? Would you recommend this method vs booting windows from an external SSD?
You can always run a script again and fix it. You don't loose anything. And its only when steam releases BIOS firmware updates. Its not all updates..
Hi there clover script creator here.
when that happens just manually boot to SteamOS using volup+power, boot from file, esp > efi > steamos > steamcl.efi
After that the script will automatically fix the dual boot no further action needed. Once you reboot it will go back to the Clover screen.
Steam OS wipes the EFI partition when it upgrades. Just run Windows repair to fix it or keep a backup of the EFI partition to restore later.
i did that because of the windows problem, and im getting black screen@@10MinuteSteamDeckGamer
Still an issue?
How can we get custom themes? By the way I didn’t have a Rick and Morty options so I went with gothic.
Yeh me too 😢
does this ever break after a software updare
Do you have a steam deck oled? I saw a video of someone using the lcd windows audio driver and actually got it to play sound, but no instructions
No, this is the original Steam Deck.
Great step by step video !! Was super helpful. I was finally at the last step after installing windows i was ready to install clover to dual boot but once it was time to open the boot menu and select steam os, ONLY windows appears for me im not sure why steam Os disappeared or what i couldve done… im debating on erasing the whole steam deck again and starting over but i wanted to see if its a easy fix without me starting over or ?
Thank you for your time and help !
did you ever solve steamOS disappearing?
@@samrose9675 @carlosromero8320 Same issue with me, let me know if it got fixed
same problem here. seems only w11 were installed
Update?
Welp
steam deck error: "faild to mount ' /dev/disk/by-partsets/self/rootfs' on real root
you are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: cant access tty; job control tuned off"
can anybody please give me any kind of help
Can this be done using an Imac computer?
Hello friend, I changed my SSD but I can't install steamOS.
question, everything was going great until the restart after windows install when it restarted to install drivers, it hung up on the steam deck logo and been like that for around 10 mins now not showing progress for anything i restarted to try to go into bios and same thing stuck on the steam deck logo. is this normal just takes awhile to boot for the first time. P.S i already had clover installed and set up running windows from a micro SD card
same thing happened on my end, is why i ended up reimaging my steamos deleting everything and started from scratch totally wasting my time.
I used this method and got windows installed fine…however, after leaving my deck overnight to finish installs steam os would not boot…long story short I have two steam boot options and now can’t access windows..which is still installed..please help if possible
Which is best to run for steamdeck windows 10 .. Sandisk extreme 512 A2 or samsung Evo plus 512 A2... Ples tell..bro
Don't run windows on SD card, run on ssd
Is it ok to do it on a steam deck oled 500 gb? Does windows take alot of space ?
Windows is 4gb, so 256gb is enough for launchers and games
Why is it that when I boot up the windows setup, it says that it cant locate any drives for the installation media when I did everything right? Can somebody help?
Valve hasn’t updated the drivers for the steam deck oled
@@Skip_Gaming oh okay
@@gameskitzyou have OLED model?
@@ryantheradical yeah
So i feel i over allocated my windows drive. Can i reallocate less without having to restart the process?
I was able to do this successfully. I had to shred the storage in kde partition and luckily it worked
Hey guys, I just upgraded my deck to 2tb storage and planning to dual boot windows. Was wondering is it possible to shrink 2 extra partitions 1 is for windows (60GB) another 1 is for storage (1TB exFAT). The reason why is because exFAT can be shared for both Windows and SteamOS. Have anyone tried it before?
Bro, look at GParted. That should make it easy to do
PLEASE HELP:
After plugging in the USB and starting the process, a black screen remains after 5-6 minutes. Despite waiting for a long time, nothing happens. The mouse cursor moves, but I don't encounter a screen like yours. What should I do in this situation?
for me this was an issue with the specific usb drive i was using, switching to a different usb stick fixed it for me
@@nottrevorallen I am stuck in the black screen rn. Did u wait for things to install or did u just turn off the steam deck and then restart the process?
@@helloimuzumakikira1 you should be fine to just hold down power if you havent already. if you dont have another usb, try using partition manger in windows to make the usb less than 32 gb. seems like being above 32 makes steams installer act weird
@@nottrevorallen I am stuck on window 11 WiFi screen. It doesn't even detect a WiFi
@@helloimuzumakikira1 my advice ends here my friend, this was not an issue i experienced
Hey,
im stuck at the windows installation part that needs me to connect to a network and continue. My wifi aren't showing up and i dont have an ethernet cable that can plug into the steamdeck. is there a fix to this?
Oh i realised the problem is tthat my steam deck is the OLED version. They dont have drivers for the OLED versions yet.
@@dorime-p4b So, we can dual boot on OLED yet?
Does it work for OLED ?
My rufus doesn't open how yours does 😢
hi. my steam os not showing on boot menu anymore after installing win os. what to do?
I have the same issue
Where can i buy steamdeck dualboot plus game in united state?
Valve is the only place to buy an official Steam Deck. You can likely find a local shop to do it for you though.
I just want to play my modded Skyrim without issues. A lot of mods work on Steam (with some crazy workarounds) but Nemesis Behavior Engine is just not being nice
I followed all the steps and after installing windows on the new partition I went back into the boot menu and steam os was not there
same issue with me let me know if you fixed it
New method for 3.5.5?
Let’s say I want more space on my windows partition later, can I then decrease the game partition and increase the windows partition, without having to reformat everything and flash windows again?
Yup! In safe mode.
@@MikeTheTechThanks, Imma do that then!
Well SteamOS doesn’t appear anymore in my boot manager...
Edit: i fixed it
ugh i thought I followed step by step but the steam OS is not popping up anymore only windows
Same here did u find solutions
i have an error when i'm creating a new partition
Bummer. Can’t help without knowing the error though. lol
could you give any advice on moving windows from an sd card (windows to-go) to a partition of the SSD (dual boot)? I imagine its the same process but instead of creating a windows media USB drive I would have to copy the OS using some kind of image migration software.
im planning on using this video and tools to copy the OS from the SD to the empty partition on the SSD. I think it should work. I've got an A2 micro sd 200gb/512 so it might just take a long time to transfer.
You have 2 same video about this theme. First video you tell download steam os, show rufus and etc. But second not rufus not steam os download. Just put usb and install windows on other part of hdd
My steam os partition is locked how to solved this?
That means you didn’t boot into the safe mode/bios mode.
hey this has been great but i've hit a roadblock at the 10:30 mark in your video. for some reason ethernet is the only option it won't let me connect to my wifi. It looks as though wifi is not even an option. I'll have to stop and continue this tomorrow after i get an ethernet cord i suppose lol
after some googling i found these instructions:
"When you get to this screen, shift + F10, In Command Prompt, type the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command to bypass network requirements on Windows 11 and press Enter.
Windows will restart, now you will get to the same acreen, but can now click I don't have an internet connection and continue with setup"
this allowed me to continue with an "i dont have internet option" on the same screen and continue :)
so after i thought it was working it still can only connect to the internet via ethernet so again i'll have to wait to get an ethernet cable :/
not even sure why but now when i go to boot windows the screen is just blue so idk whats going on lol
Same thing just happened to me.
5:39 it is stuck ar 11 percent for me, on "1/2 Running: Shrink partition" on the resize file system bla :( what shall i do?
edit: it was stuck at 11% and went instant to 100% with a runtime of 35:12 mins :D
so if anyone else has this problem: just wait :) i had an ssd, hdd might take longer
Yes, the same here
@@EDW4RD249 okay i figured out that u ju8st gotta wait patiently! it turns to 100% after like an hour :)
Tnx for that m8 i was actually starting to worry but worked out eventually .
Is there a way I can just only have windows instead of dual boot
Yeah
does this work for oled
Yes
Thank you so much for making this video. It helped me a ton!
I was able to get everything installed and loaded up game pass through the Xbox app but I keep getting this error. I've went through deleting the Xbox app resetting the store and verifying login information matches. Can't get past it though. Have you seen this before?
clip license device id does not match
My steam os disappeared 😓😓
i want without usb
12:09 when in the boot manager I don't see steam os
Same here, did u find solutions
Does it work for oled ?
me too
3:38 That´s taking ages rn...might´ve done smth. wrong xD
it’s a long process for sure. I cut out the load times in the video.
@@MikeTheTech I ended up with a black screen, that didn´t load for 5 hours, gonna try that some day again. In the meantime, Ima try some other things, there´s enough to figure out ^^. Thanks for the video anyways.
@@dariuswoznica3498 did you find a solution bro? :D
@@woraz96 well, turns out the I can´t trust any of my devices rn, ´cause I aint sure wether it was my USB´s fault oe the on of my dock. Eh, I´ma just try around a bit more xD Thanks for asking though
@@dariuswoznica3498u fixed it?
Can’t get WiFi connection
Dude, me either
Did you ever get this fixed?
I did all the steps up until 3:38 . This is where I'm stuck at. When I click on the USB Drive to boot up, I get this:

I think it is probably because the is different from the one in the video. The one I downloaded from the link was probably updated. This video is months away from when I commented this. The SteamOS: Steam Deck Image file I got is named steamdeck-repair-20231127.10-3.5.7.img. Not only that but what I notice is my SteamOS isn't in the Boot Manager list. Good news at least nothing got broken or corrupted. Everything works like normal before I followed the steps up to 3:38. What do I do since I can't boot up the USB Drive?
Destroyed my SSD and SD windows and steam os trying to get this working and lost hundreds of files roms and vsts for software but im determined to get this working this time lol
Did you manage it to work?
@@EDW4RD249 yup couldnt be happier with it now. Sucks i had to lose a bunch of work i did on the old drives though
@@ApolloMclaren Good to read that, now I just started, wish me luck
@ApolloMclaren was there anything you had to do to get it working again? Like did you miss any steps the first time?
@@emanndaman8315 no i basically had a fresh start since both jnternal and sd card were wiped. No issues setting up just time consuming getting everything back
My partition looks to be locked unfortunately… can’t get this to work… anyone else seeing the drive locked in partition manager KDE?
Thank you so much for this
Glad you liked it!
hey, nice video, but can you help me i got error code 0x8007000d while installing the windows, is there’s any suggestion or tips?
Corrupt file. I'd download Windows again.
