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?

    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)
