@@XErox7X it's not the CPU, any CPU could run any older version of Windows just fine, through you would need workarounds. The issues shown here was because Steam Deck didn't support UEFI CSM, which WinVista SP1/7 required. It will run 8.0/8.1 just fine through.
@@megakarlachofficial there is a version of win 7 that was created by someone on he win 7 forums that does not need csm, its been awhile, but I cant link the exact post here.
This may be because Csm is not on this motherboard. There is a modded edition on the win 7 forms that has the native support that csm adds to the iso package.
@@ovnipresent hay que tratar de instalarlo justo como se instala el Windows 10. Bueno en lo personal yo no uso el steamOS prefiero tenerlo con Windows. Además la app de steam funciona bien 👍 y también tiene incorporado un modo de juego similar al steamOS
Hey Nate. I believe Windows 7 doesn't have the drivers necessary to support newer hardware like the Steam Deck handheld gaming console. I tried the same thing with Vista on a 2017 Dell Inspiron 15-3552 laptop (which now runs Manjaro Linux) and I couldn't get it to work.
The Steam Deck is a class 3 UEFI device which basically means, it lacks of CSM support which is used for BIOS emulation. Windows 7 is initializing an ancient vga graphics mode at bootup, but the deck (and most windows tablets!) don´t support it. UEFI graphics mode was first used in windows 8 so it should boot without any issues. However maybe one day someone manages to write a uefi to mbr bridge which will basically bring back CSM where the UEFI loads an efi executable, which will then load legacy modules into RAM and then execute the MBR. But if it was that easy, it would already be a thing i guess.
