Windows 11 on Steam Deck. What do you need to know?

However, playing with Windows 11 is still associated with the risk of errors. The two firmware are split into one update on the official distribution channel, which improves the software keyboard performance and adds input calibration. The second, in turn, is available as part of the beta channel and focuses on improving various aspects of the console operation, but most of all it activates support for fTPM, or “TPM module in the processor”.
