Raw
UEFI_BIOS_Check.md

Windows check whether your system supports UEFI by following these steps:

  1. Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and hit Enter.
  2. In the System Information window, look for BIOS Mode.
  3. If it says UEFI, your laptop supports it! If it says Legacy, it does not.

For UEFI supported system, we can opt to GPT for partition scheme. Otherwise, choose MBR.

Alternative way to check GPT or MBR

  1. Go to Disk Management: Right-click on Windows Start button, select Disk Management
  2. Go to Disk 0 or which ever your current c: drive where your existing OS is installed, right-click on it and select Properties
  3. Go to Volume tab, and check the Partition style: it will state either GPT or MBR.
