Subject: Extreme4+. UEFI forced in BIOS-compatibility mode?
Posted: 20 Jun 2016 at 3:01am
Hello, everyone.
I'm trying to install Windows 10 x86_64 to PC with ASRock Z170 Extreme 4+.
I've created GPT partition table on the hard drive and when i try to install Windows it says that it can't be installed on the hard drive with GPT partition table. This happens when system firmware operates in BIOS-compatibility mode. I have experience of Windows 10 x86_64 installation on UEFI machine, but it requires firmware to operate in UEFI mode. Windows is pretty radical about this: it wants either BIOS - MBR or UEFI - GPT.
Problem can be solved if i'll reformat hard drive to old MBR partition table format, but i don't want to do this.
Laptops usually have UEFI menu option that switches UEFI / BIOS-compatibility. I can't find such option in UEFI menu of the motherboard. Does it have such option?
Thanks in advance.
