Guys, really looking for some clarification on something, hope guys can do it!
Right, so i'm looking to buy an alienware alpha, which i believe comes with windows 10, where you can choose between desktop and console mode.
I believe you can buy a steam machine, and install windows in place of the Steam OS.
What i want to know, is, if i did get a steam machine, and install W10, how does the system start up? can you still chose a console mode or does it o straight to W10.

Obviously it would just boot into Windows 10 because you got rid of SteamOS.
>>60567407
yes, but i have seen videos of people booting up an alien ware alpha , W10 and it gives them console mode?
Dude, save the hazzle and the humilliation for buying overpriced hardware from Dell, just build yourself a Desktop PC with an i3 6100,8gib DDR4 ram,and a RX560, that shit will play most steam games at a decent quality setting and framerate @1080p, plus you can install windows 7 on it.

So if you have seen people do it, why are you asking us? You do know that we aren't your personal tech support, right?
>>60567478
because i can get the answer to my specific question.
dont get sassy with me please

>dont get sassy with me please
Shut the fuck up. You already have your answer if you found a video of someone doing what you want.
>>60567373
Install Gentoo, faggot.
>>60567534
no, like i said, the video was someone booting an alienware alpha with W10. This was out of the box
How the fuck does that mean i found a video of someone changing steam os steam machine with windows then booting up?
Jesus, is that clear enough now?
>>60567702
It was perfectly clear from the beginning, you didn't need to yell at me. Jeez.
I found the solution though, buy the steam machine, swap steamos for win10 and then drink a gallon of bleach
>i'm looking to buy an alienware
NO.
>>60567732
i would love to get people like you wrapped around my cock
>>60567780
Sorry anon, but you like windows and I only sit on Apple cock
>>60567373
It's a piece of shit. Steam controller works like ass and windows is a bitch on a TV. I originally bought one when it was on sale to play some pirated PC games and do some emulation and it just wasn't worth the hassle for me.
>>60567373
Just build your own machine with the components and OS' you like.
It's a bunch of screws and plugs, you can handle that much.
>>60567373
I like Alienware!
>>60567855
currently live in a small apartment. It appeals to me because i can use as a console for now then as a pc when i move somewhere with more space

Kek
>>60567996
please anon
>>60567373
Why do you need this "console mode", any desktop computer does anything a console can do without whayever bullshit youre talking about
>console mode
you mean big picture mode? that's part of the steam client not the operating system
>>60567996
Only idiots don't like Alienware
Source: have 2 Alienware systems.
