Setting Boot mode
Note
Boot mode in the delivery state
We recommend that you install the operating system in the Boot mode that was set in the
delivery state.
You can find information on this in the operating instructions of the device.
Windows 7 Professional
The supplied Windows 7 Professional operating system cannot be installed in UEFI mode.
You can install the operating system in the following two boot modes:
UEFI mode (GPT volume):
To support new features, such as TPM 2.0 and volumes larger than 2 TB, the operating
system must be installed in the way that it boots in UEFI mode.
For this purpose, the provided USB stick must also be booted in UEFI mode.
The operating system is then set up with a GPT volume and boots in UEFI mode.
Legacy mode (MBR volume):
To support older extensions and functions, such as older PCI(e) cards and older software
products, the operating system must be restored to boot in Legacy mode.
For this purpose, the provided USB stick must also be booted in Legacy mode.
The operating system is then set up with an MBR volume and boots in Legacy mode.
