Yepp, agreed. Tom's needs to update this, because it's beyond annoying.I'm so sick of the way Tom's does pictures. I have to click a small, almost unreadable image to get to an even smaller unrecognizable thumbnail to get to a new not-quite-maximized window just to be able to see something that should have been viewable on the page I was looking at initially.
If you have bought or build your PC within the last 4-5 years, it's got UEFI support. And there's nothing wrong with throwing legacy boot out, UEFI is vastly superior. In combination with GPT it finally allowed me to get rid of the annoying 4 primary partition limitation and struggle between Windows and Linux bootloaders on my dual-boot setups - now the UEFI partition takes care of that and both OSs are happy.What? NEED UEFI? that CANT be right... but may be that's the MS cunning plan.. "yes win 7 and and 8 can all have it as free update" knowing full well that most cant update as will need new Mobo!!! that's got to be wrong. EVEN MS cant be THAT crazy.. can they?
... and? You can't possibly expect them to cater to all sorts of obsolete tech. Windows 7 still has support till 2020, just keep using it until these PCs die.Wait, so we NEED an UEFI motherboard now to run it? So I can't install it on any of my older windows 7 computers?
For those who are confuse about the UEFI requirements...
You need the UEFI for "Secure Boot".. (This was stated clearly in the article above... )
May be you the one who needs read the article.. read all of this bit,...
"The only change between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 for system requirements on the desktop is the mandate of UEFI v2.3.1. Windows 8.1 was required to have UEFI v2.3.1 for Secure Boot, but this was an optional feature. In Windows 10 this is no longer optional."
Any questions?

So you telling me you installed windows 7 on pc that was running windows xp and now you scream cause why?Wait, so we NEED an UEFI motherboard now to run it? So I can't install it on any of my older windows 7 computers?
OH NO!!!!!, you mean you need tech that is 4-5 years old to be able to install windows. Now that is just garbage. I should be able to install windows 10 on my old commodore. MS is just crazy for this.What? NEED UEFI? that CANT be right... but may be that's the MS cunning plan..

the problem is all my hardware is MORE than capable enough to run the os, but something insignificant to my performance is making it so i cant...So you telling me you installed windows 7 on pc that was running windows xp and now you scream cause why?Wait, so we NEED an UEFI motherboard now to run it?

Yes you need a UEFI BIOS. Any pc you recently bought within the last 4-5 years or any pc your build will have a UEFI BIOS.

if you have not, get with the times. How much longer do you expect MS to support such old tech. I am sure you still want support for your old dot printer too right?

Guys, it says it's required to use the Secure Boot feature. It doesn't say it's required to run the computer. Although, I admit it's easy to mis-read it that way.yoji :What?

I run it on my laptop which does not have UEFI so I don't get why they said that. It strictly says BIOS.
There is plenty of hardware out there that is over powered for 99% of tasks that does not have UEFI, including my 3 yr old (younger than your 4-5 yr old quote) i7 sandy bridge laptop with 16gb ram.So you telling me you installed windows 7 on pc that was running windows xp and now you scream cause why?Wait, so we NEED an UEFI motherboard now to run it?

What is wrong with Toslink? My pre-hdmi Marantz reciever (which isn't cheap) still has the same high quality audio output it always has. I can't understand why anyone would want to spend over $1k on a new quality amp just to get an hdmi input. Throwing out old tech that perfectly does it's job just to have something new is a complete waste of money. P/S2, I can give ya that but there are also plenty of great DVI monitors in use today where a user would get no benefit from a connector change. Change for the sake of change is pointless.Before getting rid of older BIOS were's there other things that needed to be chopped, i don't know like PS/2 port, VGA, DVI, USB 1.0, Toslink.
