Installing when you have 2 nVME drives.

My last post was a train wreck, so I’m making a new one. When you are installing steamOS the installer targets the first drive in your system. If that is your windows drive, and you don’t want to spend hours backing things up, or don’t have the means to do so, just take it out while you install. That way steamOS targets the drive you want to install it to and you don’t have to edit anything, especially if this is your first time and you just want to try it out.

When you click delete drive and install steamOS you only get 5 seconds to check where it’s going and exit out. Pulling out the drive you keep windows on is going to be the easiest way around this, because you have to dedicate an entire drive to SteamOS initially. If you want to dual boot from the same drive. SteamOS still has to be installed first, and then you can partition the drive and install windows.
