The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), released on February 25, 2022. The Steam Deck can be played as a handheld or connected to a monitor. It is an x86-64 device with integrated gaming inputs designed to play the full Steam library, including Windows PC games via the Linux-based Proton compatibility layer. Users can modify the device's software to run non-Steam applications and games from other sources. It uses SteamOS 3.0, but is also capable of running Windows (currently restricted to Windows 10).

Steam Deck is a fully operationa x86_64 computer and other operating systems like Windows can be installed and can be used as long as drivers are provided. Windows drivers were officially released March 10, 2022.[6] and can be downloaded from Steam Deck - Windows Resources page, these include the GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD card reader and audio drivers.
As of March 15, 2022, Windows 11 is not supported due to an issue with fTPM. Also, dual-booting SteamOS and another operating system is not yet supported but "will be released alongside SteamOS 3 once it's complete".[7]
The main advantage of using Windows as opposed to the built-in SteamOS 3 is the ability to run incompatible games. For example Destiny 2 explicitly does not support Steam Deck unless Windows is being run as the operating system.[8] Similarly Xbox Game Pass games0 can only be played on Windows and not on SteamOS.
