Hi

 

I have a years old Desktop, and it has the cupertino2-h61-ua tx motherboard, i want to change de Microsoft boot from legacy to UEFI, since the last BIOS update supports it.

 

I already checked how to do it, however I don't want to end with an unbootable Hard Drive, so my question is: is it possible for the board to boot UEFI Windows?

@Tow96, welcome to the forum.

 

When requesting help you should always include the make/model (i.e. p6-xxxx) of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of them.

Not a problem.  Thank you for the additional information, @Tow96.

 

There is no way to upgrade the Legacy BIOS to UEFI.  This can only be done by the manufacturer.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.
