| 1379156 | 2014-07-15 06:53:00 | One thing that didn't work was putting a Current W8 install which has a motherboard with UEFI, to one that doesn't. Tried it today on a persons PC that has a less just over 1 year old PC, the Hard Drive which was imaged simply failed to do anything due to the UEFI hidden boot option/partition. Couldn't change anything either as the board doesn't have the UEFI option. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1379157 | 2014-07-15 11:19:00 | What about from an older MB without UEFI (my current PC) to a new PC with UEFI (I assume most new PCs are with UEFI)? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1379158 | 2014-07-15 22:20:00 | What about from an older MB without UEFI (my current PC) to a new PC with UEFI (I assume most new PCs are with UEFI)? Try it and see, theres no positive answer when doing a swap over like that. BUT as Linw posted in #8, make a backup image first, just in case. Depending on how much data is on the drive, it may be quicker ( and safer) to simply install W8, then upgrade to 8.1, then put the data & programs back, or see if you can download the ISO form the previous links. |
