    I have to ask... how?

    As far as I know, the only things affected for the most part between Legacy and UEFI boot is boot times. Some rare cases also have device initialization and resource allocation handled differently as well in a way the OS may not prefer, but I've only seen this become an issue with UEFI boots. There was a Windows 10 build a while back that caused BSoD issues with AMD switchable graphics laptops on UEFI, but Legacy was fine. I've also seen UEFI cause a Realtek HD audio chip not initialize, but worked fine on Legacy.

    Performance-wise, I have yet to see or hear of any actual performance improvements between Legacy and UEFI. The device hardware is still the same, and thusly, use the same drivers. If anything, UEFI can manage to cause more issues (hence above; also with certain graphics cards for example, the voltage is locked when the UEFI VBIOS is active).

    And the inconsistencies can also carry over on Linux too. There was a situation where UEFI boots with Linux on a certain Samsung device caused some overflow thing with NVRAM. Some distros (although rare) have weird setups with UEFI as well (openSUSE Tumbleweed was pretty bad on my desktop iirc).

    With all that said though, UEFI isn't all bad at all. If your computer does ship with UEFI, you should probably be using it (unless you have a known issue with it). Just only expect faster boot times as a benefit.

    TLDR: UEFI boot should be used, but Legacy is still known to cause less problems.

    Personally, I didn't need an boot time of just a few seconds! Said that, UEFI isn't an must for me! And I also never was even think about an competition of Boot Times!!

    On the other hand, if you use a lot drives in the same computer with Hot Plug conditions, UEFI could force problems. In my computer at home, I use to have at least 6 HDD, 1 BD, 1 DVD and several USB 3.0 devices running, while the Drives are all in Hot Plug condition. I need to change quite often the drives because those drives content are sorted for different content. I use (e)SATA Remove Racks for those drives.

    As I don't like to use the bigger capacity drives, most of mine are SATA3 500GB drives, it assures that in case of Hardware problems with the drives, the momentum or permanent loss is much more limited than by an TB or bigger drive. In fact, the TB's I also have, I use mainly for 'rubbish' data, not important because of the problems I already was having several times with them, while the lower capacity drives, I've a total of 27 in use at this time, I had only one down over the last 5 years. Don't use SSD's at all after having with all I had, problems, mainly Power Source related (in Thailand the Power isn't very good!)! And from 3 burned SSD's I was able to claim just one while all were under warranty!! So, I stay with conventional HDD's.

    Also I'm not a Gamer, just use to play with some Flight Sims, and didn't need those much resources some Games need. For normal work, the performance is much enough for my use.

    Therefore, I use legacy mode only and that works just very well (for me)!

    Yes. That guy said that he is working for Windows 10, not Redmond though. But he has access to Windows 10 release.

    Actually it is merely waste of time speculating on builds ahead of RTM. See WZor

    signed (Sign-Off) RTM release will be assembled in another branch assemblies, but not in the "th1 - Threshold R1" ...
