HP Pavilion g4-2107tx Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi Myself Ajay,

I owned a HP Pavillion G4 2107tx which came MSDOS operating system as factory installed. Currently I've been installed and running Window 10 Pro in legacy mode.

I want to move my system from Legacy to UEFI mode as i've read and understood it is more secure and have better performance. 

I have searched and found 3 ways to move to UEFI Mode...

- convert2gpt command sequences: system doesn't boot up after completing all steps

- Creating USB with window media tool & changing mode from legcy to UEFI with disabled secure boot: system doesn't boot

- Created installation media with Rufus Tool & changing mode from legcy to UEFI and disabled secure boot: gaain system doen't boot and shows  “Operating system not found or missing”.

I think, i've tried above methods judiciously but all in vein. 

If anyone can suggest the correct way to install it or confirm if my system doesn't support it which i don't think so as the option for UEFI mode is available in BIOS.
