Just Google for "uefi on mbr" or "windows uefi on mbr" if you want more details on how to set it up. I actually tried this setup once, but ultimately abandoned it.

Many dont realize that you actually can boot a UEFI Windows on/from a disk that has an MBR partition table. I was just curious whether DUET would work as well on newer hardware.Įdit: I also forgot to mention that you can try what's known as "UEFI on MBR".

My current PC is fully UEFI/Secure Boot compatible,along with supporting legacy CSM, so I dont need to use UEFI emulation anymore. Clover seems to be mostly Apple Mac oriented, but it works on non Apple PCs too. There are detailed instructions on their wiki. It even has a modified version of DUET built in, accessible from the main menus (can't remember exactly where). I know it can be used for pure native UEFI mode, as well as emulated UEFI on a BIOS only system. It also doesnt seem to recognize any of my NVMe SSDs,only my SATA SSDs. But on the newer PC i currently have, it's iffy at best, sometimes it boots (from a flash drive), other times not. I had created a topic here a few years ago regarding DUET on my old laptop. I think your only options here are Clover or UEFI DUET.

Then I have to recognize that it is in fact possible to UEFI boot on a only Bios PC, by means of AIO_boot and Clover. See attached photos of Clover options selected and also the probe by means of BootIce that it was really booted on UEFI environment.

f ALL Installs MBR + UEFI boot files/foldersĪnd switched off the PC again to disconnect the other HD.īooted again from AIO_boot USB stick, and this time as the standard EFI folder with all files/folders to UEFI boot the Win10 Pro 圆4 OS is available on FAT-32 partition the system was able to boot fine on a Clover emulated UEFI environment. s S:: = Where the boot files/folders will be installed (just change S: for the letter of your System Reserved partition as seen on the WinPE) In order to keep safe my multiboot on the internal HD, I switched off the PC and connected an spare Sata drive to run the following tests, booted Win10XPE_圆4 from AIO-Boot to repartition and format the drive (MBR partitioned), I made a 5 GB first active primary partition FAT-32 (to have espace just in case but 1 GB should be enough), and a 40 GB NTFS second primary partition and cloned into it the Win10 Pro 圆4 drive/partition from the internal HD, also made an extended partition on the rest of the drive and cloned on a logical partition my Programs drive/partition to have available all my tools, then I created all bootable files/folders by command line on the FAT-32 first partition:Ĭ:\Windows = Where Win is installed (just change C: for the drive letter where Windows is installed as seen on the WinPE) But it didn't work when I tried to UEFI boot a Win10 Pro 圆4 installed on my internal HD.

Then this test demonstrated Clover is capable to provide the required code and internal drivers to boot on UEFI environment a Windows PE. It was a little weird as we all know 7圆4 is not fully capable to boot on UEFI environment. To make sure about this I ran BootIce v1.3.3.2 from both WinPEs and opened UEFI Tab, and the option to edit the UEFI boot entries was available. Then ran the AIOCreator.exe to integrate my Win10XPE_圆4 and my 7pe_amd64_E on AIO-Boot USB device, after booting from it both booted fine as UEFI.

I went to AIO_Boot download page and downloaded last version, and installed it on a USB device as usuall. Then I decided to run some test to see if Clover was really capable to UEFI booting on a only Bios PC a Windows installed on our internal HD, (MB used for this tests is Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2 v1). Well, let me tell you I have used AIO_Boot since very long time ago, in fact I'm the Spanish translator, but never used Clover before as I had the idea it was only a tool to boot Apple OS on a PC. And also mentioned some links to AIO_Boot pages with additional info on this Post. On some of the last Posts in the topic GRUB4DOS for UEFI the user zammibro was talking about UEFI booting on a only Bios PC and I said it was not possible as Bios programs do not have the required code and internal drivers to boot on UEFI environment on this Post, but our friend Wonko made a very simple and clear explanation of how Clover works in order to UEFI boot on a only Bios (or CSM) PC on this Post.
