Windows 10: Fake UEFI Mode possibility?

I have an Acer Aspire 4830TG running Windows 10 21H1 Pro. I recently used the MBR2GPT tool to convert my OS to GPT. Then I was asked to set BIOS to UEFI. I did, but the drive still doesn’t boot. Could it be possible that the UEFI mode is fake?

Should I change BIOS Mode to UEFI?

You boot into UEFI mode by disabling CSM mode (or possibly called legacy mode) in your UEFI settings. But, until you prepare your hard drive (or SSD) to boot in UEFI, you likely will fail to boot. To convert your HDD or SSD to boot in UEFI mode you could try this:
Convert Windows 10 from Legacy BIOS to UEFI without Data Loss

But, if you succeed in converting the HDD/SSD to GPT, and you can't change you BIOS to boot in UEFI mode, then again you will fail to boot. So, I would suggest that you really know what you are doing before you undertake changing legacy BIOS (CSM mode) booting to UEFI.

I would suggest running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine rather than dual booting.

 

UEFI VM in non UEFI machine - Yes its possible

In Hyper-V:

Step 1, select Generation 2 vm in new vm wizard:




Step 2, disable Secure Boot in vm settings:




That's it.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
