Can I use both UEFI and legacy?

Posted on


You can’t. You will have to decide convert your HDD to an MBR partition and use the legacy boot or use UEFI and use GPT partitions. You cannot do both.

Can you dual boot UEFI and Legacy?

No, not possible. Windows specifically requires MBR for BIOS/Legacy mode (and conversely GPT for UEFI mode as it is now). There’s no way to perform such conversion. Windows will not boot from another system drive as it is licensed to only one system.

Should I use UEFI or Legacy for dual boot?

In general, install Windows using the newer UEFI mode, as it includes more security features than the legacy BIOS mode. If you’re booting from a network that only supports BIOS, you’ll need to boot to legacy BIOS mode. After Windows is installed, the device boots automatically using the same mode it was installed with.

Can you switch between UEFI Legacy?

Press F2 when prompted to enter BIOS menu. Navigate to Boot Maintenance Manager -> Advanced Boot Options -> Boot Mode. Select the desired mode: UEFI or Legacy. Press F10 then press Y to Save Changes and Exit, the system will save the changes and reboot.
