How to change a legacy Boot W10 diskt to use UEFI Boot

Hi all,

I would like to modernize my well running W10 by changing the boot process to UEFI (Reason: Using NVmE SSDs or GPT sized disk). Because the system has many well configured apps used day by day a clean install would be the least favorable choice.

So my questions are:

• Is it possible to patch a fully installed and featured W10 from legacy boot to UEFI boot? And how?
• If possible: does a patched system needs a new activation (Its a migrated W10 from W7)?

BTW: I have already read lots of post dealing with UEFI. But I didn't find any usable answer yet.

TIA and best regards.

 

UEFI with secure boot disabled

Hi.
Reading on the Lenovo site:
How to boot to Legacy device or system configured with Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) or Windows 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad, ThinkCentre, ThinkStation, IdeaCentre

So my question would be, what have you done to the system, that has disabled Secure Boot?

EDIT: Perhaps you could just go into the BIOS and set it to defaults. But if you have installed a Legacy (MBR) version of W10, or upgraded a version of W7 to W10, you will not be able to boot the OS with Secure Boot turned on.

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?
