How can you know before buying the PC whether it has UEFI? Is it mentioned<br>
somewhere? I thought about asking the selling person, but chances are that<br>
he/she will have no clue about what UEFI is, and will invent the answer.<br>

<br>
The best way, in my opinion, is to find out what motherboard is in the<br>
system, find the user manual online, and check it out.<br>
<br>
Given the story at<br>
<a href="http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Aldi-PC-becomes-first-retail-PC-with-UEFI-Secure-Boot-1635893.html" target="_blank">http://www.h-online.com/<u></u>security/news/item/Aldi-PC-<u></u>becomes-first-retail-PC-with-<u></u>UEFI-Secure-Boot-1635893.html</a><br>
at present, anything that has been on the market for more than 1 month,<br>
will NOT have secure boot available, let alone not be able to be disabled.<br>
<br>
So, it's only going to become a problem at some point in the future.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>This was very isntructive. Thanks.<br><br><br>Alejandro.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
