I’m not familiar with steam so I planned to buy the steam deck with the condition that I can download windows so I can still play the other half of my games that aren’t on steam. However, someone’s just said the windows isnt supported on oled. Idc too much about quality, but the Oled has more storage so I don’t have to make the hassle of upgrading storage. People are saying wait a bit and eventually windows will be supported but idk. I won’t die without windows but I don’t want to sacrifice a lot of games I want to play. Using any sort of remote play isn’t available for me. Any other options other than buying the LCD?

    Disclaimer, since both decks are functionally the same, albeit with some hardware differences.

    Both decks can have windows on them, however they do not come packaged with windows, you will need to install it, ie, dual boot it.

    Another thing is that you can run non steam games on the SteamDeck, it has a full desktop mode.

    For instance, if you have epic Games/GOG games, you can use heroic launcher etc…

    there are plenty of videos and guides that will help you through all of this.

    So I would say most non steam games will work on the steam deck, but it will require some amount of initial tinkering, as would be the same with installing windows.

    Feel free to ask more question if you need some more clarification!
