What the title says. I upgraded my SSD a while back to 2TB. When I grab the OLED model will I be able to swap the SSD and SD Card over and just keep chugging along? Or will this need to be a clean install?

Anyone ever try moving their SSD to new LCD Steam Deck hardware?

    Does anyone know of issues swapping SSDs if used cryoutilities or undervolting/overclocking on old LCD deck?

      Not sure about the undervolting etc, but I had/have cryoutilities set up. No issue there. You’ll need to re-modify the UMA buffer though, that’s set in BIOS and lives off the SSD.

        Thanks I wouldn’t have caught that. On 2nd thought bios controls under volting, so shouldn’t have any impact on SSD swap, just have to do again on new deck. Old deck did with Smokeless UMAF to unlock bios. Latest official bios has options to go to -50mV. Not sure yet numbers people are able to achieve on this new 6nm chip but was able to set -30mV on everything, and haven’t tried going further yet.

          Yeah just thought about that too, since it’s also set in BIOS. Will need to redo stability testing though since 6nm and every SOC has its differences. I just left my UMA at 1G for now. I’ll play with it again if I start having performance issues. Everything right now is buttery smooth. Steam Deck 1 perfected.
