GIGABYTE UEFI

Hey, I'll do a clean install of windows soon, and I wanted to know if I could do it in UEFI mode in my GIGABYTE P67A-UD3P-B3 (so that it can have the GIGABYTE boot logo and everything) and as far as I know, an UEFI BIOS is one of those pretty BIOS with graphics and all, and my BIOS is one of those with blue background and white letters, can it still support windows 10 in UEFI with the GIGABYTE boot logo?

 

Many thanks, Bruno.

From what I can find so far your board; being pre-UEFI, never got the updates that some of the more advanced boards received so I think you're out of luck. 

 

I could be wrong and maybe it's a feature they didn't advertise, but I highly doubt it given the age.

Well, it mentions Dual BIOS EFI in the box, could it be it?

EFI and UEFI are two sides of the same coin. UEFI supersedes the older EFI (IIRC), which is why I'm pretty sure your board does not support UEFI. Some of the Z series boards received UEFI compatible BIOS updates but like I said I can't find one for your specific board.

nope on the UEFI visuals. the last BIOS was 2012 (F9). the first UEFI was on the z77 platforms and not adapted towards the visual aesthetics.

the dual BIOS compatibility was for ease of use between both BIOS' and updates for the IVY BRIDGE change up.
