the 'UEFI Hitachi' line allows to boot the HDD in UEFI mode,.

Remark: Some UEFIs enable one to set up the boot mode for the optical drive separately from the boot mode for the HDD. American Megatrends' 'Aptio', found on the Asus vivobook series) call Legacy mode 'Compatibility Support Module' or simply 'CSM'. It can also often be set on a per-boot basis by hitting a function key (F8 and F10 are common choices) soon after you power on the computer.

The way to adjust this setting depends on the computers, but generally this setting is located in the 'Boot order' tab of the BIOS (to access the BIOS screens, it is generally necessary to press a key during the PC startup). Eg if your computer is old (2011) allow you to set up the computer to boot either in UEFI mode or in BIOS/CSM/Legacy (not-EFI) mode.

If the other systems (Windows, GNU/Linux.) of your computer are installed in Legacy (not-UEFI) mode, then you must install Ubuntu in Legacy mode too.

if the other systems (Windows Vista/7/8, GNU/Linux.) of your computer are installed in UEFI mode, then you must install Ubuntu in UEFI mode too.

Having a PC with UEFI firmware does not mean that you need to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode.

The following sections describe how to install Ubuntu in UEFI mode, either because you're single-booting and want to try this boot mode or because you're dual-booting with another OS that's already installed in this mode.Ĭase when Ubuntu must be installed in UEFI mode If you're installing Ubuntu as the sole OS on a computer, either mode is likely to work, although BIOS mode is less likely to cause problems. As a general rule, though, UEFI mode works better in dual-boot setups with pre-installed versions of Windows 8. For instance, if you're dual-booting with a pre-installed Windows 8 but have problems getting a UEFI version of GRUB to work, you'll be in a bind. Note that these factors can conflict with one another. BIOS-mode boot loaders are better tested and are therefore less likely to pose problems. (Usually BIOS mode is better supported.) This type of problem is becoming less common.īoot loader problems - Sometimes a boot loader for one mode works better than a boot loader for another mode. Hardware support - Some hardware devices work better in one mode or the other. Most computers that ship with Windows 8 and later use UEFI to boot that OS, so this configuration dictates use of UEFI mode when installing and booting Ubuntu. Which boot mode you should use depends on several factors:īoot mode matching - If you're dual-booting with another OS, the two OSes' boot modes should match. Most modern computers support both UEFI mode and BIOS mode. This page provides information about installing and booting Ubuntu using UEFI, as well as about switching between UEFI mode and legacy BIOS mode using Ubuntu. It is intended to replace the traditional BIOS firmware that is prevalent on earlier machines. The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) or its version 2.x variant, Unified EFI (UEFI) is a firmware type that is widespread on recent computers, especially those more recent than 2010.

I did use windows to get into the uefi one time during this process but it looked the same as hitting the F2 key, except when through windows I did not have a pointer. I don't recall seeing it but I was not looking for it either. I was probably refurbishing one when I signed up a few years go and so it was stuck in my I will go into windows settings again and look for boot to usb. I have several old tube ham radios, Swan 350's, 500's. I say that because the USB has a light that comes on, if that is any kind of indicator. I tried the F12 and moving the usb to different ports but it seems like the USB's are not active until after windows starts. Oh, I used Mint 19.2 not through windows.

Seems like they simply loaded the iso image direct but in this case.yeah I followed the Mint manual. I dont recall having to do that when I installed 19 on my other computers. I see where passwords are set up but they all appear eyed I used the procedure per Mint installation manual.

#Why does linux lite not support uefi password

I will read through that thread in more If there is a password somewhere I am not finding it.

I don't know enough about UEFI to know if that is true or not. I found another similar thread on that forum where one guy was saying that some of the UEFI's wont allow another OS system to be installed. Appreciate the had not found that that thread yet.
