Do I need the UEFI version?

Post by johnstrasser »

Hi Folks,

So I'm finally getting around to building my new computer this weekend and the thought occurs to me...

Since the first thing I tend to do is disable secure boot (which may or may not be possible on my new motherboard, IDK) can I just use old reliable BIBM? Ort do I need the UEFI version?

I will be doing clean installs of everything, so there should be no conflicts there.

Fwiw, I use linux, so the only time MSW would be installed is in a virtual machine which doesn't count.

Thanks

If you can boot in legacy/normal (CSM) mode, then you can use BIBM, otherwise if you can only boot UEFI or need it, you'd use BIU.
