The following error has been preventing me from updating Windows 10 through Windows Update for quite some time (maybe a year or so): "Unsupported Disk Layout for UEFI Firmware". I finally decided to give it a go and try solving it, and to do so, I used the MBR2GPT tool in order to turn my MBR...

Hey, I wanted to play Valorant while using my Windows 11 that I got with the Windows Insider Program. The anti-cheat required me to have Secure Boot on, and for that I had to use the UEFI boot type. But whenever I use that boot type, a blue sreen appears with stripes around it. The PC boots up...

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...

My computer says that it is incompatible with windows 11 and I may have found out why. For my computer to launch, I have to have my csm set to legacy because in uefi, my drives do not appear. I have a nvme ssd and a sata ssd. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

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...

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...

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...

Hello, I just want to ask a question. So I tried to reformat my friends laptop, the BIOS mode is set to UEFI. The thing is, the laptop doesn't recognize the USB Bootable Device (Windows 10 Installer) from the boot menu. Although I re-arranged the boot order, the laptop just goes straight...

Hey all, I'm trying to boot from a USB device, but none that I tried show up. I tried both a USB2.0 and a USB3.1 drive on my Asus flipbook 14 but neither show up in the bios under the USB tab. I have booted off from a USB device before when I installed Ubuntu Linux on the computer. I tried...

Hello guys! I'm having some troubles here. I'm trying to do a fresh new install of Windows 10 on my SSD. One important thing to note is that my Mobo has an option "Support for Windows 8/8.1" that forces me to use UEFI only. If i don't activate it, then i can use Legacy+UEFI mode. So, when...

Hi, don;t know if it the correct name for it but the screen that comes when you boot up your PC that gives you the options to press DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS. So my issue is that prior to getting a second display I had to 1080p monitorone using DP and the other HDMI and the UEFI BIOS would...

In short I will be upgrading to an Intel based setup most likely, mainly for the far better memory options and support currently on the market. The question here is will a i7-4790K outperform my AMD Phenom X6 1100T I currently have despite having 2 less cores? According to cpuboss, the Intel...
