My understanding then, is at least in general there is no reason to use UEFI if your board supports Legacy mode? I don't use sleep or hibernate on my PC, and a couple of my friends who already have UEFI boards don't either. T
Hmm.. It's supposed to be more compatible. I honestly don't know. I have yet to personally witness a situation where UEFI was superior for just booting.
I have changed an half year ago from legacy to UEFI and I must say that one thing is getting clear to me and that is that I have less boot errors ! In the past with legacy it was raining errors on my side like I can't find this or that, can't boot from device and so on and on
I suppose the forums members where WinToolkit_1.5.4.1 is developed were sleeping also go there for support if using their toolkit. Deleted your deliberate posts from this thread along with members replies.
If a machine supports UEFI, it does so normally. Legacy mode on UEFI motherboard is within a compatibility layer on-top of UEFI (CSM + using Legacy ROMs), at least in most cases. Using UEFI is thus more "native" than Legacy, but for the most part, this doesn't really mean too much. At the very least, I use UEFI with SecureBoot because: - It works/nothing is broken - I like the concept of running things as natively and minimally as possible (UEFI on my motherboard eliminates needing to load certain option ROMS at boot time and from my understanding, lets the OS handle that completely) - Boot screen is at native resolution - Carry-over from when Windows 8.1 had that issue where it would always display "SecureBoot isn't configured properly" with Legacy and non-SecureBoot installs - It seems to be the "proper" way to use Windows 8+ But with that in-mind, mostly none of the main selling points of UEFI affect me: - I don't really care about the slight improvement to boot time (I think it's only a second or two since I don't have to initialize SATA and USB stuff and go straight to the Windows bootloader) - SecureBoot doesn't do anything secure on my motherboard considering I can just reset CMOS to win (get past any firmware password and just toggle SecureBoot off) - My HDD is 2TB, and works fine with MBR So basically, UEFI works, and that's why I use it If it didn't work, I wouldn't really miss anything. That sounds like either a really horrible BIOS or Legacy mode implementation, or bad hardware that just happens to gets triggered more often with Legacy. Have you tried testing your HDD out?
Yeah, had it on different hdd's with different mobo's and even with ssd disks maybe I was doing something wrong but must say I always have used raid 0 so perhaps that was the problem in the past
I bought Asus 1215b netbook in 2011. It used to be sold with Windows but I've chosen to buy it without the OS. It has the worst UEFI implementation possible. None of the OS, none Windows or even none Linux can be installed in UEFI mode. Win shows blue screen at 1% of installation. Never read about someone who can install any OS in UEFI mode on this netbook. If it does not work then why the hell and for what they made it?
It probably works with pre-installed factory images, but yeah, early UEFI implementations were sometimes buggy. Try a BIOS update.
Seems the latest update to Movies & TV broke audio for me with certain video formats, can anyone else confirm?

Guys my bios have an option to switch b/w legacy and UEFI but it doesn't support secure boot..So can i install windows 10 in uefi mode and use it even if my bios doesn't support secure boot (Bios update not possibe since samsung doesn't provide as the model SF511 is very old)..
I would like that too, I think that is what was pushed out with build 135 and it worked great on my Lenovo but it's not downloadable anywhere I can find..seems only MS was given it.
