UEFI BIOS

I intend to install Windows 11 in UEFI mode and my current Windows 10 is installed in BIOS instead of UEFI in an MBR SSD. I will be converting my SSD to GPT. Do I need to convert the Flash Drive which I will be using install windows 11 to GPT? I'm not very knowledgeable in all the BIOS stuff.

Hey All! I just installed a new Samsung 980 PRO M.2 SSD (2TB) to replace my old Western Digital SATA III SSD (250 GB). I installed the Samsung Drive, cloned the old drive onto the new drive using Samsung Data Migration and then went into the bios and set the Samsung Drive as the first priority...

Built a computer last year for the first time, and thought I'd try this Re-Sizable Bar feature for the RTX 3080. However I ran into a problem, Resizable Bar requires CSM to be disabled, and when I disable CSM my Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb M.2 Drive cannot be found in the BIOS at all, with nothing...

So, I am trying to enable all the security feature requirements of Windows 11 in preperation of it's launch. I have encountered an odd problem and I can't figure out how to fix it. When I go to enable Secure Boot, the UEFI tells me to disable CSM. After disabling CSM, I don't receive any video...

So I've read somewhere that you can disable virtualization in your BIOS if you don't need it, with claims of improving security and even performance. Can't say if that's true, but I decided to try and turn it off. So I've found a setting called " Intel Virtualization Technology " in my...

Currently, I have Legacy Bios. Soon, I expect to switch to UEFI. My objective is to turn on Secure Boot. (To mess up with Windows 11. I only want to turn on Secure Boot to meet the requirements). But it is good to check my motherboard supports Secure Boot. My motherboard is Gigabyte Gaming B8-CF.

Hi, I did something stupid. i was trying to recover a reset computer. I have a dell Inspirion desktop gaming pc -ryzenfx 1800 1 nvme ssd 32 gb ram fx580. I was using the windows recovery options and on boot, stupidly selected "boot into legacy mode" Upon restart, the computer went dead. the...

Both my disks are GPT. PNY XLR8 CS3030 256GB Nvme M.2 SSD (OS) TeamGroup GX2 1TB SATA SSD (Games and stuff) When i disable the CSM and switch to UEFI, only the boot drive (M.2) is showing up and the SATA SSD is not showing up. According to this post, MBR will not be shown from the BIOS when...

today I got my new laptop Lenovo ideapad 3-15ITL6. I tried to install Windows 10 from my usb, but there was no hard drive displayed in the installation. I went into the BIOS, and under the boot tab there was no hard drive (under the efi label). I also tried to install drivers while installing...

I am using an ASUS H310M-CS R2.0 mobo, Whenever I enter bios its looks like the plain legacy one which is white and blue. When I checked my system info it says BIOS mode is UEFI, then why doesn't it show the graphical UEFI bios that ASUS has instead of the plain white and blue one. Is there any...

So I have ASUS FX503VD, and I bought Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB. Next to ssd, there is 1TB HDD. Of course I want to do a clean install to SSD, but I have some problem. When I install Windows 10 to SSD, it goes properly in the beginning, and the system reboot the laptop. After this, it doesn't...

I just cloned my old WD BLUE 1TB hard drive to a Crucial MX500 500gb ssd using aomei backupper. That process was smooth. My SSD boots but only when I override it in the BIOS. My issue is when I try to prioritize my ssd over my old hdd in the BIOS. My first boot option is the UEFI Hard Disk...

So my pretty ancient machine (i5-4690k, Asus Z97-A, 8GB DDR3 and Radeon Sapphire 7850) is way past due for an upgrade. My plan is to get: Core i5-10600KF (but not fixed on that - prepared to look at i7s, i9s or even Ryzens) Z490 motherboard (currently looking at the MSI MAG Z490 but again, not...

Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me with the next issue that I am not able to solve on my own. I read all around and tried all kind of fixes but didn't managed to make it work. I'm having an older SATA HDD that has Win 7 32bit installed on a laptop that had legacy bios. I am trying to...

I have Windows 10 installed in SSD in legacy mode (not UEFI). I have connected it to gigabyte brix. When I turn on the Brix, its does not boot from SSD. Instead it gives me UEFI shell: When I type exit and hit enter in above shell prompt, it seems to take me to BIOS which lists SSD is...

Hello, hopefully I can still get things together right, as this is really getting me to my limits for the last 48 hours. My MSI H81M-E34 doesn't boot from anything anymore, doesn't even recognise the SSD anymore. I m ending up in UEFI shell or nothing. Had a dualboot Win10/Ubuntu which I...

PC won't turn on with a mouse or keyboard. I tried to connect the keyboard / mouse to USB 2.0 and 3.0. I think everything is correct in the BIOS/UEFI settings: - BIOS -> Fast boot: Disabled - Advenced\ ACPI Configuration -> PS/2 Keyboard Power On: Any key...

So I did a clean install of Windows 10. Seems to be running fine, but after some digging a found out that the OS is installed as BMR, not GPT. I have read that GPT is superior, but I really dont want to reinstall OS again. cant also boot in UEFI mode too, I think thats connected. Only thing I...

Earlier today I in the same room as my computer but not using it. As far as I could tell it was idle and the last time I touched it was maybe 8 hours prior when I set some things to download on Steam overnight. I hadn't touched the computer since. As I was sitting there, monitor already turned...

Hello, I have Windows 10 installed on my pc. Whenever I restart or boot the pc normally, the bios screen with the keys you have to press doesn't show and it boots normally into windows. If I spam the bios key, it gets stuck with no output. However, if I cut power to the pc through the plug or...

Hey, I upgraded from a 4690K Gigabyte Z97 to 3700X MSI B550 and I cant get into the BIOS even though everything works fine. Tried the Windows Advanced Boot force UEFI, spamming delete also doesn't work. No formatting has been done to my SSDs. I was wondering if I did something wrong or did I...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm not really sure where else this kind of thing can go. Please feel free to advise on what I can do here or if there is anywhere more specific I should be posting this. So here's the story: Microsoft published a firmware update for...

I recently ordered parts to build a new pc, so I was planning on selling my current one to a friend. However, upon reseting the pc and then restarting it, I ran into an issue with “TPM” - Whatever that is. When the pc is booting up after a restart or powering on, the first screen you see after...

I'm just very lost and confused on what to do. PC was working fine up until 2 days ago and now I have no idea what to do to fix it. It's unusable due to the amount of stuttering, and whenever there is audio, it makes horrible buzzing noises. It started happening after I converted from legacy to...

I bought a USB hub a while back, and I could never get it to work. When two devices are plugged into it, it prevents booting: not even the POST report shows up, nor any beep is heard. Interestingly enough if a USB power cable is plugged in, it still works with the one other device. Upon boot...

Hi! I am trying to enable virtualization on my PC, so i have to enable it in BIOS. I can’t seem to get into my BIOS though. When i press the right key during POST, i end up on a black screen with a green cursor (which is typical for the ASUS BIOS utility for my motherboard). My monitor is...
