HOW TO CHANGE THE FRIMWARE MODE from BIOS to UEFI

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you've completed the steps to switch to the GPT-style partition, it's the time to access the motherboard's firmware to change from BIOS to UEFI. Otherwise, Windows 10 won't boot.


In order to do this process, you can use tools provided by your PC manufacturer, or change the settings manually in the firmware interface.








This process typically requires hitting one of the function keys (F1, F2, F3, F10, or F12), the ESC, or Delete key as you boot your computer. However, these settings will vary by manufacturer, and even by model. So make sure to check your PC manufacturer support website for more specific details.


After getting the access to the firmware (BIOS) interface, look for the Boot menu, and make sure to change from legacy BIOS to UEFI.


Then reboot your computer, and use these steps to verify that you're indeed running Windows 10 in GPT style partition:

1. Use the Windows key + X to open the Power User menu and click on Disk Management.
2. Right-click the disk with the Windows 10 installation and select Properties.
3. Click on the Volumes tab, and under "Partition style," it should read GUID Partition Table (GPT).

To make sure, your device is using UEFI, do the following:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for msinfo32 or System Information and press Enter.

In the System Information summary, you should now see that "BIOS Mode" is set to "UEFI."
