Can I install a UEFI hard drive as the main (boot) drive in a legacy (BIOS) Windows 7 system?
Sam wrote
Rod Speed wrote I wasn't suggesting the last, boot into Win on different drive. I appreciate the clarification. One FINAL question: Since I need to use another drive to boot into Windows. Can I use an SSD drive (for improved performance) Yes you can. or should I stick with a 1 GB regular drive? No reason to, but that will work fine too. The mobo has SATA 6 connectors and currently my Windows drives uses it. I should replace it before it fails on me as it is old too. Motherboards don't fail very often at all, I have only ever had the one fail. Certainly a new one would be easier with UEFI support.
