One of the most important questions associated with Steam cover is Windows compatibility. Valve has made it clear that Windows 10 will work, but windows 11 it was a question mark. Despite this, the company is working with AMD to make sure the device works with Windows 11.
Windows 11 and Steam Deck
Valve's Steam Deck will ship with a custom version of Linux called SteamOS, but the device is just a computer at its core. That means it will run all kinds of different operating systems, including Windows.
We knew Windows 10 it would not be an obstacle to the device, but with windows 11 just around the corner, Microsoft fans and gamers were curious if the latest version of the operating system would work.
You would think that if Windows 10 will be executed, Windows 11 it wouldn't be an obstacle. Despite this, because Microsoft needs TPM 2.0 for which windows 11 run, It is not so simple.
Valve and AMD are aware of this and the companies are working on it. In an interview with Pc gamerThe Valve Steam Deck Designer, Greg Coomer, said: “There is work in TPM at the moment. We have focused so much on Windows 10, up to now, that we have not come that far. Our expectation is that we can meet that “.
As mentioned, not only depends on Valve, since AMD manufactures the Steam Deck chip, you also have to participate in the procedure.
When asked about TPM support 2.0, Coomer said: "It is also a conversation that is taking place with AMD. To make sure that, at the BIOS level, we can accommodate that. Therefore there is nothing that tells us yet that there will be a problem with Windows 11. “
Should I run Windows 11 and Steam Deck?
Doesn't seem like the question is whether or not it can run Windows 11 on a Steam Deck, but if i should or not. We'll have to wait and see if the SteamOS gaming experience lives up to the challenge.. If so, installing Windows could be a waste of time.
