UEFI help

[ClassicWhite]

Hey, I need help to choose what settings should be on and what they should be for UEFI to be fully activated for win 11

Are you installing windows from scratch, or using already installed?

I have win 10 already but I need to meet the requirements for win 11 health check

You need to get rid of Legacy, (Set it to UEFI Only) but depending on how windows is setup now, you may not be able to boot anymore if you turn off Legacy.

What do you mean how windows is setup?

I used EaseUS for mbr to gpt so I hope there shouldnt be any problem.

 

Also should all of them be UEFI?

No, just set boot device control to UEFI

If windows was installed in MBR mode, changing to UEFI in the BIOS will mean you can't boot until you make a bunch of changes.

 

UEFI doesn't support MBR, only GPT.

I changed my main boot drive to gpt with EaseUS, it told me in the process that I should change to UEFI

[tkitch]

Then you should be good to switch it to UEFI mode.

How was it using EaseUS to do this, looking for the easiest way to change mine to GPT. No problems using it on the drive you're currently booted on?
