Once you've done all these things, the first thing you need to do is make sure the internet is connected and begin updating your Steam Deck. You'll be led through some set-up screens where you log in or create a Steam account, select language, and some other basic things.

Before you're able to turn on the Steam Deck, you'll need to plug it in and charge it.
