THANK YOU! Your list is extremely detailed and helpful. I’m right with you until step 5. I’m not sure what you mean/how to load SteamVr. What I have been doing is entering VR by clicking the link at the bottom left of the VD display (i.e., the one that starts with Computer on the left side, follwed by Games, and about 5 other things I can’t remember. Is that what you mean? I could, I guess, also start by clicking a SteamVR icon that’s on my desktop.
Also, I don’t really understand what you mean by “steamVR as the runtime in the registry or in the steam VR beta?” I believe I’ve signed up for VR beta, but don’t know how to verify that. Or whether that’s good or not.
And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a button that says “switch to vr.”
