Question How do i add Legacy mode to my BIOS, so i can install Windows XP and 7?

[TheFlash1300]

Hello. The BIOS Mode Menu of my BIOS has only one option - UEFI. My question is, how do i add a second option, Legacy mode, so i can run the BIOS in Legacy mode, too?

I heard that BIOS Legacy is the only way to make Windows 7 and XP to work on my laptop. I would like to install Windows 7 and XP and boot them from my USB.

The laptop i currently use is Acer Aspire A315-22. I heard that i can never run those operating systems, because the hardware of my laptop doesn't support drivers for these operating systems. Is this true?

Does anyone know how to run Windows XP and 7 on Acer Aspire A315-22?

As it came with win 10, it is highly doubtful that there are drivers for XP or Win 7. Why would you want to run an old, unsupported, and unsecure OS anyway?

The only way you're going to run those OS's on that hardware is via a VM (Virtualbox, Hyper-V, VMware etc.)
