The latest beta software update activates the dormant TPM chip.
When Steam Deck was announced, it was questionable that Valve would ship the mobile device with a Linux-based system and run Windows games on it with emulators. It’s now been revealed that this idea works much better than expected, but to reassure skeptics, the company previously made it clear that there would be no impediment to manually migrating a device to Windows.
The process has been official for some time, and AMD has made the most of the Windows 10 drivers needed to run Steam Deck, although Microsoft cannot be installed with SteamOS at this time, and the built-in speakers and audio outputs are missing due to a missing driver. is working.
The situation has not prevented Valve from working, installing the latest SteamOS beta software will update the UEFI system software (BIOS) on the mobile device. After installing the patch, the TPM chip built into the Deck is activated, making it compatible with Windows 11 except for the missing audio driver.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s actually worth installing Windows 11 on Steam Deck, odds are it doesn’t offer a better user experience or performance compared to Windows 10, and the consensus is that it’s currently better to stay on the machine running SteamOS.
