Long story short, I own both an Ally and a steam deck. Put windows on the deck day 1.

With handheld companion and the “cpu boost” option, I’m getting more frames in my games on the deck than I am at 15 watts on the Ally. Which in of itself is great news, however…

I need a rundown on a few things relating to changing the tdp on the deck in windows. Obviously handheld companion can do it but here are the questions.

1. What is the default tdp the deck runs at in windows without any change? Is it the full 15w?
2. I know changing tdp in windows can cause a ban in multiplayer games. Is this only the case if you change tdp after the game is launched or am I at risk as long as I have the tdp set to a custom limit using any software at anytime?
3. Is there anything else I need to know about changing the tdp in windows on the deck?

Any and all help is appreciated!

So I feel like it’s a long shot but here I go. I’ve been trying to add non steam games onto my deck, I’ve already successfully got Xbox Game Pass fully functioning on my deck but was trying to get an old pc game from the late 90s on my deck (Spooky Castle) and so I realized I needed wine to install EXE files I guess and when I go to execute the installer it goes through all the installer windows fine but after it says “unable to find graphics mode” how would I go about fixing this? It also saved the file type as “windows link”

Can't seem to find an answer anywhere so I figured I'd ask. I'm curious about what one it is better to do when using windows on the deck. Is it better to put the device to sleep or to shutdown once done gaming for the night for example? When I used SteamOS I almost alway just put it to sleep, will the same rules apply here with windows?

I am considering buying a Steam Deck, My primary use would be to play GamePass games locally installed (not streamed) and therefore I would need to run Windows. My intention would be to buy the 64GB model, wipe it and install windows on the eMMC/SSD, and install games onto an SD Card I already own. Some time in the future (when finances allow), I would swap it out with 1 or 2 TB SSD running either windows alone or dual booting with Steam OS.

I have the technical skills and comfort to install and configure windows (or dual boot or whatever).

Is this a good idea? Are there any “gotchas” I should know about for taking this approach? Will games run reasonably well off of SD-Card?

I have heard about people installing a live version of windows directly onto an SD card and leave SteamOS on the SSD, but this sounds like a terrible idea if the windows instal is used for anything remotely serious.

Advice and perspectives are appreciated.
