Thanks!  I am trying to research this so I don't take your help for granted....but I am wondering if my BIOS is too old to install windows in EFI mode.  I do not have an EFI (UEFI) option on my BIOS so...do I update BIOS first to get that option?  Then I can do an clean install of Windows 10 in EFI mode?  

Thanks again

 

**Edit**  I went ahead and updated to .28 for now.  No problem following your other thread instructions on doing that.  Running great on 2.28.  Thanks!!

I will update to .33 after the clean install of Windows 10 EFI mode on my new SSD.  Sound correct?

Anytime.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.

 

That is up to you if you want to update the BIOS.

 

It should be fine, and you will then have the latest security updates.
