Question about UEFI and legacy BIOS settings
Question about UEFI and legacy BIOS settings
Check if you need to format additional internal drives or just the OS drive for this UEFI feature.
Usually it starts quicker, though I've tried Windows 8 on a non-UFE hard disk and found boot times reasonable. The key benefits of UEFI include Secure Boot, which safeguards the bootloader by confirming its authenticity before starting to prevent any concealed malware or rootkit from taking control of the boot sequence and embedding itself within the operating system. It also supports booting from drives larger than 2TB. You simply need to reformat the drive you plan to install your OS on. I own two storage options: one is GPT formatted SSD and the other is MBR-based drive, both function well with UEFI. It runs a bit faster, but I opted for it because I prioritized security and wanted UEFI enabled before switching to Windows 8. The process preserved the integrity of my programs and files after conversion.
Oh, nice try! It seems like you're aiming to cut down the boot time in half, but you might want to keep using what you already have. Appreciate the support!
