As far as I'm aware, all Steam Decks can dual boot. On my machine you hold volume down on power on to access the boot manager.

I didn't partition the internal drive because I wanted to preserve the original install, so I boot from the external SSD for Win 11.

@jordanlund Yep, just looked into it. Only the original SteamOS (Debian) couldn't dual-boot.

Sweet, so that's a bonus.
