    Legacy Boot vs Standard Boot in Windows 10 UEFI


    In a device UEFI with two Windows 10 installations one clear the other bitlocker encrypted I noticed a difference in the boot sequence and boot time if the boot is changed from standard to legacy using bcdedit.With standard boot you have the new graphics and the boot sequence is as follow:clear OS: start pc, bootmanager loads, OS selection, OS boots upBitlocker OS: start pc, bootmanager loads, OS selection, system reboots automatically, password screen, OS boots upWith legacy boot you have the old less fancy but effective graphics and the boot sequence is as follow:cl

    UEFI vs Legacy boot mode

    Yep, UEFI mode with Win 10 loading I get the Asus logo.

    IIRC there maybe an option within motherboard UEFI to disable the Asus logo but not looked into it. On another forum I have read that what logo you get at Win 10 loading is the easiest way to know what bios mode OS is in.

    If system is booting in legacy mode - you get Windows Logo.
    If system is booting in UEFI mode - you get OEM logo.

    Above also applies to Win 8 but not Win 7.

    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 Legacy Boot vs Standard Boot in Windows 10 UEFI :eek:hwell:

    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 Legacy Boot vs Standard Boot in Windows 10 UEFI :))
