Hey all,
Got a tough but to crack here, would appreciate some suggestions, as I haven't played much (at all?) With UEFI to date. I've been happily running I'm BIOS mode and putting off learning anything new.
So heres the deal.
I now have a UEFI only disk installed in my rig.
My old win10 partitions exists only as a backed up disk image.
Is there a good way I can restore my old BIOS mode disk image onto my UEFI only disk and have it boot?
My first try was to do a fresh win10 install so it created all the efi and boot partitions, and then to remove the new main partition and replace it with the old restored image.
That didn't work at all, even after attempting boot repair using the install disk.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Hindsight being 20-20 I should have converted the existing disk to UEFI before yanking it out and making my system UEFI only, but I didn't know that at the time.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
