Can not believe it. No legacy boot option for Z2 G5 ?! 

Hopefully others see this here and avoid buying this workstation. Keep on going with Z2 G4.

Yes, of course, there are always changes. New technologies move in, old technologies move out.

I agree, there are not many cases today for which legacy boot is needed, and some day it will be common that there is only UEFI. But today there are still some people expecting this legacy option the same like HP has supported it before. It would be better to write this clear in the product spec.

@03HT -- No legacy boot option for Z2 G5 ?! 

 

Similarly, none of my computers can use "classic" 72-pin desktop RAM.

Evolution, not revolution, in computer hardware.

 

Does Windows 11 support legacy boot ???
