  1. UEFI not set and is it worth losing 10 pro to update to Windows 11


    I have a dilemma of a couple of things when it comes to settings in my PC. It can get the update for windows 11 if I set the UEFI in the bios but it has been off and don't know if I should change those setting since I never change it in the first place. It was the default settings on the mobo since I bought it. Second is the fact the OS I am running is windows pro and getting the update will I lose the pro version and have it replaced by standard edition. If so then obviously I wont bother because in essence it is a downgrade in OS. I would like to know what is the pros and cons of changing th

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    Defer feature updates in Windows 10

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

    UEFI Forum Releases UEFI 2.3.1 Specification Update

    The UEFI Forum has ratified an update to the UEFI 2.3.1 Specification that adds important firmware considerations and addresses numerous engineering change requests. The updated Specification will be referred to as “UEFI 2.3.1C”.
    • UEFI 2.3.1C adds: An OS Indications Variable - OS/FW feature & capability communication – when implemented, allows end-users to make an OS menu request to enter BIOS setup after next reboot.
    • UEFI 2.3.1C adds: A mechanism which, when implemented, facilitates Open Source Operating System installations and OS- agnostic end-user configurations of retaining the factory default keys while in Setup Mode (see Specification for full technical detail of Setup Mode).
    • UEFI 2.3.1C removes: Runtime driver requirement on Network UNDI drivers - this allows UNDI drivers to be delivered in EFI Byte Code (EBC) Virtual Machine format supporting systems based on different processor architectures.
    Complete details on UEFI 2.3.1C are available here.

    The UEFI Forum’s UTWG (UEFI Test Working Group) is currently working on updating the SCT (Self-Certification Tests) to align with the latest spec changes. Please see www.uefi.org for more updates.

    UEFI not set and is it worth losing 10 pro to update to Windows 11

    windows 10 worth the upgrade?

    Cumulative update for W10: September 8, 2015


    This is the biggest update W10 ever had. Lol look at the file list.
    This is pretty good for those who installed Windows 10 today. Just one update that has everything, no need to install previous updates.
