The drivers include graphics, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and SD card reader support, allowing users to install Windows on the device. However, dual-boot is not yet possible as the SteamOS dual-boot installer is still in development.","whyItMatters":"The driver release expands the Steam Machine's utility beyond SteamOS, letting owners run Windows for games that are not compatible with the Linux-based OS, though full dual-boot functionality remains pending.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eValve has made Windows drivers available for its Steam Machine gaming PC, currently downloadable from the English-language support page. The four drivers cover graphics, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the SD card reader. The Steam Machine normally runs SteamOS, a Debian-based operating system optimized for Steam games, but some titles on the platform are incompatible with SteamOS. Installing Windows turns the device into a standard gaming PC that can run those titles.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Steam Machine supports dual-boot in principle, but Valve has not yet released the SteamOS installer with a dual-boot wizard. Setting up Windows currently requires erasing SteamOS entirely. Valve says the dual-boot tool will be provided once it is finished. The Steam Machine launched in Japan on June 23 through KOMODO and quickly sold out. Four models are available, with 512 GB or 2 TB storage, with or without a Steam Controller.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Valve's Windows driver release for Steam Machine enables OS swaps but not dual-boot, meaning users must choose between SteamOS and Windows at install time.","twitterPost":"Valve's Windows drivers for Steam Machine allow a full OS swap but not dual-boot, forcing a one-or-the-other choice.","threadsPost":"Valve released Windows drivers for Steam Machine, making it possible to replace SteamOS with Windows entirely.
