How do i replace windows 10 to steam os

[Denji el Motosierra]

I want to make my windows 10 become steam os.
So i installed steam os in my pc and it worked the probleam is that every time i shut down and turned on my pc again it turns back to windows 10

[ᶻ𝗓𐰁]

When I looked it said the installer would delete everything on my pc so idk how it can boot windows if it deleted everything

It says build your own steam machine
https://store.steampowered.com/steamos

the actual steam os 3 is not released for pc yet

you can use an arch distro and tweak it to gaming the same way they did, though

that is if you are interested/comfortable in that

you can really do it with any version,

but steamos uses arch

edit: damn, i am tired. i missed some of that small message

during your boot process, you have to point the pc to the linux distro

either delete or f8,f11,12

all of those have been used on one board or another for me

then you pick the drive you want to boot from

I personally advise you to not get on to SteamOS because, and I mean this kindly, you don't know what you are doing. Please try again when you are more knowledgeable.

I've been using Linux Mint for about a week, you should look into giving that a shot.

I was real reticent about switching from Windows (used it my whole life) but Mint has made it extremely painless.

Seems I'm a penguin preacher now.

I wish I had made the switch sooner. Had I known it would of been this easy, I would have.

SteamOS 3 isn't ready for PC yet, Bazzite will give you basically the same experience because it was designed to be like it

Yes it's based on Fedora Linux like Nobara and is made specifically for gaming machines and to be as close to SteamOS Holo as possible, supports desktops and handhelds

Older CPUs would be fine, it's mainly going to be an issue with older GPUs as driver support eventually cuts off, older NVIDIA cards have more troubles compared to recent cards especially (as in pre-RTX at the very least)

If you have an AMD GPU then you're probably fine.

Installed what SteamOS? There isn't one publicly available anymore and SteamOS 2.0 is too old to use on modern PCs. The one for Steam Deck might work but from what I've heard that can only work if you have a modern AMD CPU and GPU, not Intel or NVIDIA stuff. Valve is working on SteamOS 3.x for Desktops/Laptops that will be compatible with Intel and NVIDIA stuff but for now it's still a WIP

Hmm, how many drives are you having now? Something like SSDs or HDDs.
I may suggest you install SteamOS/other distro of linux on other drive better than dualboot with only one drive and Windows 10. Reasons? After updates it may no more space left for your drive, also this may avoid troubleshooting. Happy research

That's partition not the drive like IT WAS MAGAZINE NOT CLIP.
C partition and D partition not the C Drive and D Drive. This is old type Windows installation with 2 partitions in case of Windows partition ran into issues/troubleshooting, you still get datas in other partition.

Yes, you could have multiple partitions on a single physical drive; and each partition would be a separate Drive Letter. You should know your PC well enough to know what your physical drives are and how many you have; their sizes, etc.

Best bet would be to turn off the PC and physically disconnect your WinOS drive(s) and then hook up a drive you can wipe clean and install Linux or SteamOS onto.
