New to UEFI - Is it necessary?

[Tjadea]

Hi all,

I've just bought an ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP Motherboard because of a graphics card upgrade I did. The Gigabyte GTX 750 ti.

My question is: I will need to reinstall my 64bit Windows OS but should I have it in UEFI mode or the default legacy/BIOS?

I'm not sure if there will be compatibility or performance issues.

Thanks!

If anything, you should have less compatibility issues using UEFI. Your motherboard, graphics card and OS are all new-tech so use the new-tech BIOS - the legacy mode would be for old components/software.

Use UEFI.
