Well I’m not a tech expert but someone has made the assumption that the partition might still be on the Deck and just not visible. My original plan didn’t seem to work so I’ll try this.

Windows on an SD card is an option I wanted to avoid if possible, so I went with sharing the main partition between Steam OS and Windows, but I’m glad it worked out so well for you for so long.

damn there’s a subreddit for literally anything huh? well thanks for this, I’ll surely get some useful stuff from here👍
