  1. Notebook boots in Legacy not UEFI


    HI,

    I have been problem in My Notebook pavilion AB-029TX , So i decided to clean install windows. I downloaded Media Creation and created ISO then using rufus I created bootable USB, Here Something happened I inserted USB then in BIOS menu it wasn't showing us so I changed to Legacy and It showed up, again while selecting HDD partition it gave me warning that windows can't be install on this drive as it is GPT drive, I gone through YouTUbe and found soluthion using CMD I cleaned drive first and then using convert GPT command i converted to GPT and I m shocked my all partitions were deleted I installed windows on default partition and you know HP logo at start up gone showing windows and windows booting in Legacy mode.. I am using it for couple of days in Legacy mode so can you please help me to find out where i did mistake or where i was wrong, What will I do if I want to Install on UEFI and boot using UEFI mode.

    Thank you.

    Specs:

    Intel i5 processor

    8 gb ddr3 RAM

    1 TB HDD

    Notebook: PAvilion AB029-TX

  2. UEFI vs Legacy boot mode

    I recommend you stick with legacy install instead to avoid any compatibility problem hardware or software. Uefi have the speed advantage for boot up but I don't find it to be a good trade-off for the compatibility problems that appeared. Secure boot for uefi is a pain if you decide to install multiple os as the other os is "locked" out. I used uefi for my previous install it is a lengthy install selecting the correct bios setting without borking the install. I'll move to uefi if I don't have a need for multiple os or legacy things. So far I seem to need it.

    Legacy to UEFI

    I'm debating moving to UEFI form my now legacy BIOS (Award Software Int.) the mother board is a GA-Z68XP-UD3 rev1.0 on the the following link it shows a UEFI BIOS U1J )UEFI BIOS)

    https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z68XP-UD3-rev-10#support-dl-bios

    Currently I'm running the legacy F10 BIOS. Does installing the UEFI BIOS automatically take care of everything to get to the UEFI BIOS? Installing the UEFI BIOS following the instructions using the Q-flash method GIGABYTE How to Reflash Motherboard BIOS

    What's steps do I take and in what order?

    Much appreciated

    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 Notebook boots in Legacy not UEFI :eek:hwell:
