BIOS + Uefi in new 7.4 WHD? Where to choose when you installing? Any screenshot? Can I make it both ways? A little stupid question. I never saw PC with Uefi, how does it work and what is it.
UEFI boards will (mostly) provide you with a choice if Secureboot is OFF. With Secureboot ON it's always UEFI boot.
If it's an old mb then it will boot in bios/legacy mode. Modern mb with uefi usually default to that. You can normally change the boot order in the bios. Even easier, hit your hotkey at bios for the boot menu & you can select the mode you want to boot. For MSI it's F11 & for ASUS it's F8: View attachment 27692 View attachment 27693
While you're at it and before you release 7.5, I found a lower-case mistake. In WHD, Tools and Options button, Optional tab, the text that says "Download windows updates" should be "Download Windows Updates".

First of all, I just want to say thank you for all the hard work on this program and all the excellent features Keep up the good work and know that everything you do is appreciated! Currently I'm working on creating a Win7 AIO disk with all the latest updates slipstreamed. I just wanted to mention some of the things I'm struggling with in my journey in the hopes that it somehow helps with future development. My computer specs are as follows: Win8.1 Enterprise Sabertooth Mobo with 3930k Intel processor and 64GB quad-channel ram. 1. Creating the slipstream disk for x86 took about 3 hours 30 minutes per version of windows. Each version gets mounted, slipstreamed with 570+ updates, then the wim gets recompressed. My settings in WHD were with "high priority" selected because I wanted to make the AIO relatively fast as that's all my computer was doing at the time and also with the desktop image deselected as I wanted to keep default desktop image. Still, this took foooreeeeveeeeerrr to slipstream even on my system. I'm not sure why, but maybe as the programmer, you may have some ideas 2. Creating the slipstream disk for x64 took 10 minutes for the entire slipstream for all for versions. This I thought must be a glitch since my wim didn't increase in size so I redid the process and again it took about 3 hours 30 minutes per version of windows. 3. When I first worked on my x86 disk, I only chose professional for slipstreaming. This finished in about 3 hours 30 minutes. When I went to bed, I decided I'd select everything else too but I reselected professional as well. When I woke up, it was slipstreaming professional updates even though those updates had already been slipstreamed earlier the previous day. My suggestion here, is if WHD could create a text document in the DVD directory to keep track of all updates already slipstreamed into a version. This way, when patch Tuesday comes around and we want to stream the latest 6-12 updates and select the whole folder with 580 updates WHD knows to ignore any updates already slipstreamed. Kinda pointless otherwise when it takes 3 hours 30 minutes to integrate another 6-12 updates. This is just my experience and the improvements I see possible. I'm sure you're probably already aware of these. Maybe I have all the wrong settings selected as well and that's why it takes so long (please educate me on this if possible). Again, thank you for this excellent product and I hope you don't interpret this as me bashing it. I just know that with a couple improvements (though some features are easily though up but hard to program) it can be a little more efficient in the time it takes to do it.
Thanks napkin, I did have a text document created in sources directory with a list of everything that was integrated. I took it out for some reason and forgot to put back, I think I will add something like how vlite was doing it (last session) in v7.5.. The amount of time taken for integration does vary on the amount of items being integrated, ill take a look and see if I can speed things up..
i have a question i see that this program downloads the actual updates is there a way to just install them directly instead of just downloading them? And is there a way of checking what updates the unit is actually missing?
There's Windows Update itself and a nice Powershell Module for that. Focus here is on getting updates you want, regardless the system you're requesting them from . And LOADS of nice functions more.
