    Boot manager legacy mode not working?


    Hi,

    I've got a computer running Windows 10 but sometimes want to boot to a different system i.e. grub bootloader and I want to use the legacy boot menu. I've set bootmenupolicy to legacy but it still seems to use the modern blue graphics based boot menu.

    Can anyone give me any hints as to what might be wrong?

    If I've put this question in the wrong place then I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know where I should post it.

    Thanks,

    :)

    UEFI vs Legacy boot mode

    I just found out I'm running at "Legacy" boot mode.
    Are there any downsides running my Skylake system in "Legacy" boot mode?

    I don't really want to reinstall windows.
    Also I have no problems with my SSD, speeds are as they should be.

    Just booting up my system takes some time, maybe it just would be faster booting with UEFI?
    My Asus Gaming laptop is booting up faster.
    If thats the main difference *Oh Well Boot manager legacy mode not working? :eek:hwell:

  3. UEFI vs Legacy boot mode

    You're all good. With UEFI boot partitions can be over 2TB, but that means reformatting drive to GPT.........prob not something you'd want to do....(or me *Smile Boot manager legacy mode not working? :))
    You aren't missing out on much., as mentioned above. Maybe Secure Boot......bleh *Stick Out Tongue Boot manager legacy mode not working? :p

    UEFI vs Legacy boot mode

    It's just the boot time, not so fast, my asus g750 is booting faster *Oh Well Boot manager legacy mode not working? :eek:hwell:
    Ok so besides secure boot, and a bit slower boot, I don't miss out on anything else then.*Smile Boot manager legacy mode not working? :)

    Thanks.
