Windows 10 in legacy mode and UEFI mode differ mainly in boot behavior and compatibility. Legacy mode uses traditional BIOS settings, while UEFI supports modern features like secure boot. Choose legacy if you need older hardware support, and UEFI for newer systems and better security.

It doesn't need to be installed in Legacy mode if your device was created within the past decade.

You need to choose the option to enable UEFI during setup since the system currently operates in legacy mode.

I think your disk partition list is an MBR file instead of a GPT format, which is needed for UEFI. You can change it using this tutorial https://www.windowscentral.com/how-conve...windows-10

Hello, I've submitted my question for discussion. To avoid repeating the same points, I hope this helps. The main advantage I see is quicker startup, especially since I don't have big disk partitions. But is a faster boot really worth switching from MBR to GPT to enable UEFI? The improvement could be around 5 seconds or more, but 1 or 2 might not justify it. Are there any other benefits you're overlooking? Thanks, Dan.
