Windows 7 did support UEFI but it was crap so many vendors just opt to have the CSM enabled. Ideally he'd try to get a Windows 8.1 upgrade for free (?) and then disable the CSM, sometimes perversely in the UI it's an option to "enable UEFI" as if it's even possible to disable it.

On any system that has Secure Boot enabled with Windows on it, *especially* this is bad advice as it exposes the user unnecessarily to bootloader malware and that's not good. It's a huge PITA to get rid of those. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
