Geek Help 'UEFI'
i'm not up to scratch with new BIOS arrangements such as UEFI.
i'm putting together a new 'media box' with win7 x64 pro and KODI. the new MB has UEFI and M.2 SSD. the M.2 will be the OS drive. now lets see if i have this correct for loading windows to the M.2 drive and using UEFI... insert the win7 x64 disk into the dvd/br drive start comp and enter BIOS select boot drive option as UEFI ''dvd/br drive'' save and exit BIOS start comp and let windows disc get on with it then select the M.2 drive as install drive. is there anything i'm missing? |

Re: Geek Help 'UEFI'
Try it and see. What's the worst that could happen?
I need a new 500gb ssd because my primary is getting a bit full. I had a look at M.2 but it didn't seem worth the extra cost |

Re: Geek Help 'UEFI'
I'm guessing the 16tb isn't ssd
I just download, watch and delete. Don't see the point in keeping them. I mostly need the storage for games so having them on ssd helps a lot |
