Method 2. Enable/Disable UEFI Secure Boot You may receive an error reporting about missing OS if you have configured a UEFI system[3] to boot in Legacy mode. That’s because the majority of Windows 10 PC comes with enabled firmware and Secure Boot, and the OS installed on GPT partition can be booted in UEFI mode only. In this case, you should change the boot mode from Legacy to UEFI or disable UEFI and Secure Boot. For this purpose, you have to: 1. Click the Power button before the logo shows up. 2. Then press F2 to open BIOS Setup Menu. 3. Select Security tab and disable Secure Boot. 4. After that, select Advanced and navigate to System Configuration. 5. Set Boot Mode to CSM Boot. 6. After that, press F10 to save the changes. 7. Finally, press F12 and then select the source you want the system to boot from. |
