I was initially able to install Windows under microSD card and then wipe my internal memory off my steam deck, but after wiping the memory card so many times due to pairs with Rufus. Not part of the problem is that I don't have a PC, so I have to do everything on my Mac through parallels. And I've tried this as well on Windows 11, but I get an error every time with a rufus. apparently after some time in June 2022, Windows stopped the windows to go option from being flashed onto a microSD card through Windows 10. Hey, I've been having issues installing windows to go on a Micro SD card, as well as forcing Rufus to create a Micro SD card because of an iso error message that the iso could not be extracted, I found a work around but that failed too because the drivers to run windows were missing.
