Can I Boot A Macrium Rescue USB Drive On A UEFI Boot Only System
I am currently using Easeus ToDo and because of the number of recommendations I have gotten for Macrium Reflect Free, I decided to give it a try.
The first problem I ran into after starting it was in trying to create a rescue USB. Apparently, Macrium won't support GPT formatted drives. It will only permit MBR formatted rescue drives. This doesn't seem like very advanced thinking to me but I guess it is what it is.
On the other hand, I have a newer Dell computer which supports "UEFI" booting only. It has no legacy booting capability at all. It is also brand new and at the latest level of Dell BIOS as well. Mine falls in the category described in the note below.

>> Note: Some newer computers will only support "UEFI." It will not include an option for Legacy at all even with the latest BIOS version installed. This is normal, and it is working as expected.<<
My question is will I have any problems booting an MBR formatted rescue drive on a system which supports UEFI only booting? My Easeus ToDo has a GPT formatted rescue USB which I created and it boots up fine on my system.
Thanks in advance for any input.
