Valve releases Windows drivers for Steam Deck but refuses support

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Tom's Hardware ·

Valve has released drivers and notes to enable Windows 11 on Steam Deck and Steam Machines. However, the company explicitly states it does not offer customer support for 'Windows on Steam Hardware,' directing users to SteamOS recovery instead. The resources are provided 'as is,' leaving users to troubleshoot on their own.

Meridian48 take
Valve's hands-off approach underscores the experimental nature of running Windows on its hardware, but the lack of support may limit adoption beyond tinkerers.
