P8Z77-V Deluxe UEFI/Lagacy Boot

[amerifax]

All new to me. My choice is UEFI/Lagacy or one or the other. My very next question is if "PCI Rom Priority" should be Legacy Rom or EFI Compatible Rom.

I,m using SDL for both the cache & SDL/HDD, hybrid, for SATA6. Maybe I should also mention I turned on the "BootUp NumLock State".

Set them all to default unless you know what you are doing. If you are using Windows 8, install it using the UEFI image instead of the legacy one to use Fast Boot.

What is SDL?

I'm guessing he means SSD.

On turning off "Legacy", since windows is already installed, should I re-install Windows 8?
Bob


PS
When I made the change, turning off Legacy, when reboot I only end up back in the UEFI. Therefore I'm thinking I do need to re-install. But I need to know for sure if I'm right.

And if i do need to re-install how can I exit UEFI, after changing and saving the (delete-Legacy), since I always end back up in UEFI?

Do not edit the UEFI/Legacy settings. Leave them at stock.

Then, when you are selecting the boot device to install Windows 8 from, select the one that starts with UEFI:, not the standard CDROM: or USB: one.

Don't think I booted from the UEFI option when I installed Windows 8.

What difference does it make? I havn't noticed anything

It lets you use Fast Boot. Also, you can boot from a 3TB drive with UEFI.

You mean Windows 8 fast boot? So basically hibernation... lol (that's all it seems to do in my opinion, well at least very similar)

The 3TB boot limit I won't ever use. Maybe not for 10years anyway

I've also just checked the fast boot option and it is enabled. I definitely did not pick the UEFI option when I installed from my Win8 DVD.
