Product: Elitebook 8560w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

What are the best bios settings, do I need to enable UEFI, I have a clean install of win 10 on a 128Gb SSD drive, it boots very quickly but thought I would check.

Thanks

Hi,

 

If everything is running fine, then I would say there's really no need to change anything.

 

From your post, I gather you are currently booting in Bios ( Legacy ) mode to a drive with a mbr partition style.  If you do want to enable uefi boot, you would need to change to GPT partition style and then install Windows 10 again.

 

There's a good description of the difference between these 2 styles on the following links.
