Windows 10: There are tons of people with I'm talking about those with uefi bios that have PCs totally...

When is Microsoft going to stop this madness? This screams class action lawsuit. Why is Microsoft not removing this feature? It's causing only huge problems and it really doesn't help stoping Any malware. The kind of malware that would hijack your boot process is going to be flaged a thousand times by any anti-virus software, even the most outdated.

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Should I change BIOS Mode to UEFI?

Hello,

I would like to dual boot Win 10 (20H2, Build 19042.804) with Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 7520. When I open "System Information" I see Bios Mode Legacy. And when I run bcedit from the command line I get: "path \Windows\system32\winload.exe". So I think this means I am using Legacy BIOS. I also ran diskpart and list disk and confirm that my disks are not partitioned in GPT so I guess they must be MBR.

There are instructions here about setting up the dual boot and it talks about needing UEFI. Is it possible to update my laptop to use UEFI? Or maybe I don't need to?

I find all this very confusing! There are instructions about Converting Windows 10 from Legacy BIOS to UEFI and it says that you must have UEFI firmware (BIOS) enabled.

I have the Dell BIOS firmware A04 on my laptop but when I hit F12 on boot up I don't see any mention of UEFI in the BIOS screens. How do I enable UEFI firmware on my laptop? Is that my first step?

Cheers,

 

UEFI BIOS configuration issue

So recently, I have downloaded a .exe file and after both running it and restarting my pc, I lost both keyboard and mouse functionality. This was in UEFI with safe boot on, and when I switched to safe boot off, my pc worked again. I am curious, is there
a way to fix the previous setting though? I would like to regain kb/m functionality using the bios boot setting to UEFI with safeboot on.
