Windoze Ten no dual boot?

You can dual boot 10 beta, but RTM will be locked down, up and sideways.
So you can't turn off UEFI?
I will not be upgrading then.

Doesn't sound especially surprising. I suppose it took 5 different
versions of W8.1 to get it down pat for the free W10b upgrade.

Hitting 133F variously all across my MB's components, running a quad
85watt AMD's core fullbore for multiple audio processing stages. Can't
wait for UEFI offerings if I melt it down.

Used to be shelling out money for a computer was enjoyable. Dunno.
UEFI licensed and officially registered. It's a privilege. Ours.

Yep. Should run right out and buy one of Intel's dual cores, all up
to something over $100, before newer quads are similarly placed. My
old 2.2Ghz 775 socket quad, I found for $25 on Ebay, evidently is out
of fashion for keeping up with the ratpack.

Apart from displacing a nickel videochip on a video board for
integrated CPU/GPU, 2T HDD limits, is there one thing the industry, or
Microsoft, elsewise has to offer as worthwhile to an added advancement
for broader public usage to be derived on a UEFI platform?

(Standard disclaimer: Though I do realize that though I do not game,
50 percent of households with PCs do. And a lot.)

Last HDD restructuring, there were stopgaps for aftermarket hardware
controllers. The present trend among MBs is near to phasing out PCI
with most down now to a token one slot, micro factoring a MB to the
size of a deck of cards. Not that tiny isn't cute, I suppose, in a
tight-assed sort of way.

That clears things up. I couldn't imagine an in-place upgrade to W10 creating a UEFI
partition on a HDD with the system partition at the start and no unassigned space.

For people who use Window$ **ONLY**, Secured Boot might not be a bad
idea! But it's always better to make it optional.
