In this video, I go over the differences between UEFI vs Legacy BIOS Boot. This includes the differences between partition tables GPT vs MBR (DOS).
UEFI
-Faster Boot
-Advanced Graphics
-Secure Boot
-Relys on EFI Partition
-Difficult to Install
GPT
-Support for Large Drives 2TB+
-Typically UEFI
Legacy Boot
-More compatibility
-Easier to setup
-Rely on a Bios Boot Flag
-Text Graphics
MBR (dos)
-Convert to GPT for UEFI
-Windows does not like MBR with UEFI
-2 TB / 4 partition Limit

Question.. my bootable 1tb hard disk is mbr but my external hard drive is gpt, is it bad at all?
On my bios it says "windows boot policy for uefi without compatibility support module (csm), what does it mean?
So what is better Legacy Boot or the UEFI Boot?
Como fazer um triple boot UEFI e GPT?
Hi so I had my brothers laptop and it had different bios design then the laptop I am using but it’s a same company(asus) laptop so mine has a blue background bios and my brother laptops had a fancy type bios so I have thinking that if I could change it, will that be a option?? Please let me know.
You preface this video by stating it's for the general population, then go into concepts, at times advanced ones, without defining them clearly. Step up your educational game, buddy.
even back then he was still calling deprecated "depreciated"
UEFI is replacing BIOS. You use either one or the other. Some hardware no longer has BIOS. A Surface Pro is a good example of something with no BIOS. It is UEFI all the way. UEFI can do everything BIOS can do and then some.
Very useful.
This is a mouth full.
Sir thank u sir….
My brother just came out as bios.
I love the knowledge I gained from here!
I just bought a mini pc with an internal msata 128GB drive. I also put a 240GB SSD drive in the PC. I don't play games. I formatted both drives to get rid of windows 10 pro.
I was thinking of using two partitions on the msata drive for bionicpup and fossapup. I would like four partitions on the SSD drive so I can install four different Linux distros to try out. I really want to keep this simple so in bionicpup I want to use grub4dos for my boot menu.
Can I just use legacy instead of UEFI? I use audacity and cd burning software for my CD collection. I'm replacing HP Compaq 8000f Elite Ultra-slim Desktop PC from around 2008.
Pretty basic stuff when it comes to computing on my part.
Thanks for the advice!!!!!😀
So, with an 8G mbr disk, you can make four 2G partitions ?
Legacy boot supports 4 Primary partitions. You can have more than 4 Logical partitions.
Thanks for your time and effort.
please can you convert gigabyte z390 aorus master to UEFI MODE?
Where can I find more information on this subject? Is there a book or guide available?
U must Said it with live practice video sir it will make us more understandable 🙂
On so old computer is not possible to install Windows 11 as Legacy Boot but when I change it to UEFI boot, then it is possible to install Windows 11 without any problem.
My question is, to Keep the boot as UEFI and use the computer as it is would it harm the computer and other programs work properly?
Hi Chris. I'm 8minutes, 03 seconds into the video and have a question for you. I recently tried dual booting the latest version of ubuntu with windows 7 home premium and noticed that the ubuntu boot loader took over the loading of either windows or linux. It looked like the font size it used for the loader was extremely small and hard to read. Is there any way to inscrease the font size of this boot loader (assuming it was grub?). Thank-you!
Hello, just a random question, does my Pentium G620 can install 64bit Windows 7? BTW my motherboard is ECS H61H2-M2 V.1.0 my bios is not yet UEFI
I refuse to move away from mbr
Man! I wish I had a tenth of your knowledge🏁
Feliz navidad!
Excellent information
Can you have both MBR and gpt disks in one boot loader ?
Thank you brethren I'm glad you've made it clear multiple times in the detailed explanation and breaking down the differences in MBR legacy and Uefi and by partition system.
Sim mas como configuro a bicos para dar boot obrigafo
After accidantly have cleaned my entire disk (long story) I no longer have GPT for the disk. Havent made a reserved msr and seperete system EFI in fat32 yet so dont know if that will do anything but i mean, i got no system/windows now to work with anyway so got enough of time to check out videos like this one
change speed to 1.25 for a more faster talk
Am I the only one who spent half the video rejoicing at the cute snowman on the wall? 🙂
da fuq man, you just make it way more complicated than it really is.
Just a minor correction. Things that are no longer approved for use are "deprecated", not "depreciated".
"What is deprecated?
In information technology (IT), deprecation means that although something is available or allowed, it is not recommended or that — in the case where something must be used — to say it is deprecated means that its failings are recognized."
how to get those 2 pretty blue green eyeballs?
Excellent job reasoning forward the most effective way for a computer to behave suffering their capabilities appropriately balanced by the portion of the systems supporting each software or out of schemes into Windows processors etc etc
For MBR when you say mark the partition bootable does that mean set the boot flag as one or more of the following: boot, gios-grub, root or legacy-boot for the system partition?
Also does the mount point need to be?
Hi Chris,
I installed a Linux Mint in dual boot with Windows 10 on a newly built computer and I already destroyed the Grub bootloader once!
Now I finally managed to buy a high performance graphics card, how can i safely install Garuda Linux instead of Linux Mint without destroying the grub bootloader?
I have already experimented a lot with Virtualbox in Windows 10, tried all Linux Distros Arch, Manjaro, Debian, Fedora but this is in safe virtual environment.
But on my new computer that should be able to run Blender smoothly, I'm afraid to do it again!
Windows and Linux are on separate drives.
I suspect that the grub partition is on the Linux disk, because when I formatted it I couldn't get to the Windows partition, only by reinstalling Linux Mint the grub partition was back!
Thanks in advance for your advice
I wish the industry would stop putting labels on stuff like "legacy" when it should be called "original" for example. I like the information in these videos because of my technical experience, however, I did not create such videos because I don't want to influence non-technical people to mess around with the BIOS, hardware, configurations, settings, motherboards, etc.
Can you still use fdisk?
How are partitions labelled w/UEFI ie /sda/sda1, 2, 3 etc.
For windows c:
I've heard you have disable Secure Boot to install Linux? Alot has changed since I last installed Linux. Thank you
"In this video, I go over…. (what the title exactly says) " – Thanks…. I thought youtube would serve me a different video than what I clicked on, or somehow the info would be in another video. Thanks for the prompt clarification.
We wish if there is a practical part beigin from bios setup till windows installation from both legacy and UEFI
