#SteamDeck #SteamDeckOLED
I made sure to follow every step to the letter on my Steamdeck OLED, I get the dualboot screen and can load into Steam OS no problem. When I choose Windows though it just sits on a black screen? Been like it for almost 10 minutes now
Will it work work Windows 10? I don't like Windows 11.
If your using windows 11 your losing out on performace
That manual boot into steam then re configuring refind fixed my dual boot problems not going into refind after restart/shutdown. thanks
Thank you for this, was just researching on how to dual boot my SD Oled. Will follow this guide 🙂
What happens when the Steam Deck gets an update?
I have windows and steam deck installed, it boots into windows when I start it, 'minus + power' and I can select steam os.
But after a Steam Deck update, steam os disappears from the menu and I have to use 'plus + power' like in this video to access steam os,
and fix it with this line: "sudo efibootmgr -c -L "SteamOS" -l "EFIsteamossteamcl.efi" -d /dev/nvme0n1p1 -b0003"
I was thinking of clover or other options to avoid this necessary fix, is (this video) an option, or will I still have to do this fix?
Is the best way to get the controller to work within Non Steam games GloSC or GlosSI? Currently having no luck with that last build of GlosSI.
Can this be for steam deck oled as well ??
On the bootmenu my partition(usb driver) wont appear? I tried deferent usb drives and sd cards but it just wont show up.
Pleeease heeelp?
I would see this right after I spent 2 days and finally got it somewhat figured out with clover. I might just try to overwrite it and pray it works lol.
What if I want to download windows onto a micro sd inside the deck?
I get ”invalid loader file!”
”Error: Not found while loading bootmgfw.efi” message when chosing windows from the refind bootloader. 🤔
I’m having an issue where everything was working fine, however now windows keeps resetting display settings and doesn’t allow me to connect to WiFi even using ethernet does not work when using a dock.

Why you Dual boot sounds like Jual Boot? 😂 Thanks for tutorial anyway.
i try to get the recovery image but when i click download theres just a white page
Great stuff man, refindGUI is way better than Clover! Everything works much more smoothly!
im confused about the steam os recovery card, do we have too put steam os onto a usb stick?
Looks like a decent tutorial, very informative and easy to understand. I, however, will not be attempting this. Windows sucks!
I'm having problems trying to partition my drive. I have a 1TB OLED and done all the previous steps right. when I want to partition 256gb and format to NTFS, it takes forever and the operation stays at 0%
Will running it on windows make dragon ball sparking zero get more ranked online matches ?
One thing to tell people: the new Windows 11 24H2 update is corrupting the system files (whether dual-boot or sole Windows 11) this includes BSOD on the same partition SSD
I had to reimage multiple times and just did a Windows 10 (up to date patches) instead and its stable without crashes
Amazing video, I really appreciate it 👍
Can you do it without PC just by steam deck?
Great Video!! I just hacve a problem when choosing the OS in the boot screen it always shows an Invalid loader file error screen.
I have a 64 gb steam deck can I stil dual boot with it i have a 1tb sd card 🤔
Hello, helpful video. Could you do a video on bazzite vs steam os and maybe windows 10 and bazzite dual boot on the deck? Id appreciate it as i cant find anything about it.
Bloodborne tutorial ?
Hi, I could not seem to get my audio driver to work on my OLED in Windows (mine is 10), even though I have installed all 3 drivers. I even tried to install the LCD one, but no success. Any input for this? NB: I can hear audio using wired earphone and bluetooth but not speaker output
I have SteamOS on my 1TB internal and Windows 11 on my 512GB MicroSD. Do I follow the steps to install rEFInd on SteamOS, set SteamOS as the primary and default and then select Windows (SD) to allow a dual boot?
How to downgrade your steam deck 😢
One thing that make having a steam deck more enjoyable for me is having great channels like your to rely on for simply effective tutorials, thank you❤️
I’ve been following this guide and when I get to the windows 11 setup it says to install driver to show hardware… what do I do
I wonder how good this would work with winbtrfs, so that windows can access the games installed on linux.
Could you use 1 usb and 1 sd card of this?
HEADS UP! This tutorial is already outdated. Windows 11 24H2 Corrupts the SteamOS bootloader partition and you need to do additional steps after Windows is installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUDbLkHDeGY
Thank you for making this! Just had a quick question. If/when valve includes an official dual boot and a future update, will this be easy to take off and use the official one? Would it just involve formatting and redownloading SteamOS?
Hey! I did everything and then once I tried the Manual SteamOS Boot, I got a message saying you have to enter something and says grub> . What do I do?
Can you do a tutorial on how to get hedgemodmanager on the steam deck?
do you know if this would work with bazzite on the legion go / rog ally?
This seems like a good tutorial but I need an idea here. Is there any way to make it so that windows is secondary but to always boot into steamos first? I honestly see no point to mess with dual booting if it invalidates the main part of the steam deck I enjoy, which is the ability to quickly press the power button and wake into steamos and play whatever game I left out on.
Amazing Video! I have a 512GB Oled. I was wondering how I can split a 1tb Micro SD between both OS’s. I just want to install Black ops 6 & Fortnite on Windows, and all my other games on Steam OS. Is it possible to share a MicroSD between both OS’s?
Awesome. I've been dual booting since your original video and didn't know there was a rEFInd GUI now. Every time there is a major SteamOS update I have to refer back to your "bring dual boot back to life video" to get it working again, it seems like one of these new steps might be helpful to me!
Hey man, great job on the video. I'm not sure whether the Stable 3.6 update messed it up as I did have windows and everything installed on on the beta 3.6 before the proper stable update released. The Method of sharing the NTFS card doesn't seem to be visible on SteamOS anymore, and I'm unable to mount and open the sd card, getting an error of "Bad fs, Bad superblock Etc". However the sd card does still work on my windows partition, and doesn't show any errors when scanning it. Is there a way to fix this without having to wipe the card? and has this happened to you?
Thanks 🙂
