Now installing Win7 in UEFI mode. When clicking Next after selecting pre-formatted Win7 target partition it warns that "the partitions are not in the recommended order for GPT disk" but lets me continue with install anyway.
Is this a known issue which might cause problems if I decide to wipe the Win7 and Win7 clean reinstall partitions to Extend C and take back the PC? If the wireless speed (40 kbps Download, 10gb Upload) cannot be resolved in Networking thread I have then I will prob do that anyway.
Not an issue you just need to brush up on your partition structures for your type of setup. Check your hardware bios to see what your board supports and partition it accordingly.:thumb:
- Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition structure.
- Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Class 1. Uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition structure.
- Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Class 2: Uses the GPT partition structure. Also includes a compatibility support module (CSM) that enables you to use BIOS functions, including the MBR partition structure. This module may be enabled or disabled in the firmware.
- Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Class 3: Uses the GPT partition structure.
