Legacy mode is not supported

HI,

Ive bought a brand new Laptop with no operating system (DOS)

While trying to install windows 10 from a bootable USB stick the following problem occures :

I cant activate Legacy mode ,the option is not even there ! ,Only UEFI is supported .

Note that i've disabled fast boot and secure boot.

I can only access EFI Shell ,which i dont no nothing about .

I can only say that shell's ( Device mapping table) shows fs0, blk0,blk1,blk2,blk4 and all are set so <null> which i think all the peripherals including the Harddrive are disabled.

Please help me solving this !

Hi 2busammer. Welcome to the TenForums @2busammer

Sounds like an issue with your boot media rather than you laptop. How did you create boot media?

Have you seen this tutorial. It uses the Media Creation Tool to create media and it will boot UEFI.

Clean Install Windows 10

The media creation tool is available here

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/soft...load/windows10

This will create a USB Thumbdrive with 1903 on it. You said new laptop but there are still blocks in place for upgrading devices to 1903. An earlier version like 1809 might be more appropriate.
If you want an earlier version you can go here.

Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool

Then follow these instruction to make a bootable (UEFI) USB thumbdrive.

Win 10 reset


You will need licensing keys to activate your OS.

Ive read about these procedures ,but the thing is ,i doubt that the system will recognises any of the peripherals ,and no i didnt create anything .

2busammer,

What makes you believe that your peripherals will not work simply because the firmware type is UEFI?

What type of peripherals are we talking about?

Why not just install in UEFI mode?

Update the specs in the "My Computer" section:

The capability of UEFI systems to operate in legacy mode is not going to be permanent. You can expect that newer computers are not legacy-compatible (CSM module not present).
