Trying to setup a dual boot and have discovered my 8.1 is installed with legacy mode. How do I switch to uefi without losing all the programs I've only just installed? And will switching to windows 10 soon remove all my programs and files? Or will it be fine?
Answers and advice is appreciated.
My system in case its of relevance.
z97-a motherboard
i7 4790k cpu
gtx 970 gpu
2x8 GiB corsair vengeance
samsung 850 evo ssd
wd black hdd
I am attempting an ubuntu/windows dual boot for now. I want the operating systems on my sdd and main storage on the hdd. When trying to do it at the moment the ubuntu installer pops up and tells me that if I continue in uefi mode then it wont recognise my windows install. This is not ideal!
Is there no recovery tool that allows me to transition? I have just finished installing a load of things and do not wish to go through the hassle of doing it over.
Thanks in advance.
