Question HP Pavilion G6 from 2011, uefi or legacy?

[iluvtux]

Hi there,

I´m going to install Win 10 Pro the next days on an older HP Pavilion G6 from 2011.
msinfo32.exe does not show "bios mode" to my surprise. But in storage manager I see the SYSTEM partition is ntfs, is it safe to conclude it´s a legacy machine?

I read somewhere on the net, these devices actually were uefi, but HP configured them to boot in legacy mode. Maybe at that time uefi wasn´t considered to be stable enough to use.

Thus, I guess it´s safe to create a Win 10 Pro legacy boot device for USB?
Thanks!

The only concern I'm seeing is if you want to boot from a GPT formatted disk. This is different from the file system, e.g., NTFS, used. If the laptop booted fine to the OS in legacy, then there's no harm in keeping it that way.
