Post Body

I've installed Windows-to-go on a 512GB Samsung Pro Plus Micro SD card, and can boot into Windows no problem. During setup, it would not let me connect to the internet, and post-setup I can see why; no Wi-Fi network adapter is being found at all.

I have a Blutooth adapter showing only. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Booting back to SteamOS the Wi-Fi works perfectly.

Edit: SOLVED. If you're experiencing this issue it's because you first need to install Valve's Wi-Fi driver to Windows on the Steam Deck (amongst others). You can transfer these directly to the root folder of the SD card to which you installed Windows, and run them on the Steam Deck.
