I have just wiped my whole pc and i am now trying to install windows 10 from a usb drive. The thing i am wondering about is when i go to the boot menu i can see the sony usb device twice. I can either choose the usb drive under EFI boot sources or under Legacy sources. Which do i choose? If it matters i have a HP compag elite 8300, i will also post a picture of the bootmenu. Thank you in advance!boot menu.jpg

Hi:

 

It would be preferable to install W10 from the EFI Sony USB flash drive, so that it runs in UEFI mode.


If your PC has a secure boot setting, you cannot enable that setting if you install Windows from the Legacy Sony USB flash drive.
