1Assuming the Linux and Windows filesystems are separate, I would assume no. You might be able to download them to a shared folder. Also you would probably only be able to download the Linux version of the game, which I doubt would be playable on Windows.– rivermontCommented Dec 29, 2016 at 16:33

Agreed. If you were downloading the files that would be used for Windows, this could perhaps work, but Steam is likely organizing and distributing the game files so that they're compatible with the machine that's downloading them (i.e. you'd be getting the Linux version of the game, if there is one, and that won't run on Windows). It's a good question, though.– HarrisCommented Dec 29, 2016 at 17:35

Assuming you could download the Windows files from Steam while using Linux, is there a reason you can't transfer the files via some external media like a flash drive?– Leon7CCommented Dec 29, 2016 at 17:56

2I could just copy them to the right partition. The only issue I'd have is getting Steam to ALLOW me to download the Windows versions and then for the Windows Steam client to recognize the new game.– ZephyrCommented Dec 29, 2016 at 18:03

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. minecraft-java-edition), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
