    Problem Regarding Bios Change from UEFI to Legacy

    I have hp pavilion p045tx with windows 10 pro. I recently install Ubuntu with windows 10 so for that I convert my bios setting from UEFI to Legacy mode for install third party software like wireless Driver and all in Ubuntu.
    But after every restart the bios setting change to default and that is to UEFI mode and that will cause an problem of no OS detect. Every time I have to go to bios setting and enable the legacy mode to start my OS. Can anyone suggest me what to do in this
    case.

    BIOS mode as Legacy or UEFI?

    Windows 10 will install itself in the same mode that the installation media is booted in. If you boot the installation media in legacy BIOS (CSM) mode, then Windows 10 will create an MBR partitioned drive and install in legacy BIOS (CSM) mode. If the installation media is booted in UEFI mode, Windows 10 will create a GPT partitioned drive and install in UEFI mode.

    Whether or not you want to convert your MBR install to GPT, and whether or not you want to convert your legacy BIOS (CSM) mode booting to boot in UEFI mode , or if you want to reinstall in UEFI mode is up to you. What do you hope to gain? Side note: converting the drive from MBR to GPT is not required to convert to UEFI booting. However converting to UEFI booting is required if you want to convert the drive to GPT.

    What error are you getting when you try to restore your backup image, and what backup software are you using?

    Cannot acces the BIOS in UEFI mode, only LEGACY

    Discovered system BIOS mode is "legacy" not UEFI

    By accident, while I was setting up a new SSD on my laptop, and reading the web I discovered a thread about UEFI with a series of precautions to take in order to guarantee UEFI mode.

    I went to check my devices, and laptop and surface are indeed in UEFI mode. But my main PC, with all the requisites, 64 bit windows 8 (8.1 Update), Asus ROG Maximus V UEFI bios... is in LEGACY mode, as reported by System Information.

    You should also check! It is supposed to be faster and more secure.

    Now I am wondering what to do to change from Legacy to UEFI mode, and any help is much appreciated.

    Edit: I found a tool Data migration tool, system migration to Solid State Drives (SSD), 3 TB Hard Drives - Paragon Expertise Center
