To be clear, while the article says this is "official support", this is only drivers provided by valve.

Per valve:

Weird that the drivers are that dramatically different for the OLED version.

The standard Steam Deck Windows drivers have been out for ages, I have a Win11 external SSD and it works fine.

The WiFi and BT modules are completely different (the OLED's product page says this since the announcement), hence new drivers required.
