When should I use UEFI firmware settings?
The UEFI settings screen allows you to disable Secure Boot, a useful security feature that prevents malware from hijacking Windows or another installed operating system.
Is it safe to switch to UEFI?
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.
