What the title says. I upgraded my SSD a while back to 2TB. When I grab the OLED model will I be able to swap the SSD and SD Card over and just keep chugging along? Or will this need to be a clean install?
Anyone ever try moving their SSD to new LCD Steam Deck hardware?
This is good news in general but bad news for me.
My LCD deck died about 2 weeks ago out of warranty on a 3.4 stable build, and I have no way to upgrade the firmware to 3.5 to make the transfer compatible.
I hope im somehow able to still swap in my 2tb ssd and upgrade the the firmware on the oled model…
Aww, that’s a tough situation 😑
You should be able to upgrade system offline from SteamOS recovery USB, there is option
“Reinstall Steam OS - This will reinstall SteamOS on the Steam Deck, while attempting to preserve your games and personal content.”

It is also likely that SD-oled will be able boot from old SteamOS drive and then get update via usb-c ethernet connection (Wifi will rather not work because drivers are not present in old OS version)
