Unlike the Nintendo Switch, the Steam Deck is a portable computer, which means you can remove the default operating system from it and replace it with Windows, for example.
This week, Steam Deck users who prefer to run Windows on their portable have a new driver to install. Recently, a new APU driver has been released that improves compatibility, security, stability and performance when running Windows on Steam Deck. The driver can be downloaded directly from the Steam website along with other drivers for the device.
The official Steam Deck Twitter account shared new details about the driver that promises to improve Windows performance on the console.
It is possible to install Windows on a Steam Deck, but it takes a bit of work and technical knowledge. Many prefer their Steam Deck to run its integrated operating system (Linux) because running Windows can cause compatibility and performance issues.
If you don’t want to go through the process of putting Windows on a Steam Deck, you can stream games through Xbox Cloud Gaming. In addition to avoiding the hassle of switching your Steam Deck to Windows, Xbox Cloud Gaming runs in a browser. As a result, you can have the Steam Deck’s built-in operating system for native titles and Xbox Cloud Gaming for streaming other content.
So, looking forward to the arrival of the Steam Deck in Europe?
