Botnet. Always disable that crap and switch to legacy BIOS.

I checked according to this and my C: drive is just one big NTFS with no partitions or mention of EFI. I can't find any of the other ways it shows how to check it, so I'm just assuming it's legacy. This should make installing Arch a lot more simple.

Pls search the word uefi in the link u sent and don't be an idiot

When I start my computer the UEFI thing it's referring to seems to just be a graphical interface for motherboard settings, and I always manually select a boot device anyway, the one NOT labelled UEFI.
>>
>>59828119
You can't disable it. You can merely enable CSM, which makes UEFI emulate BIOS.

>>59828744
Yeah it's just the interface desu, why do u need to know what it is?
>>
>>59828044

It's like a BIOS, except it means the NSA owns your computer.

modern interface for the BIOS
just a fancy UI for your firmware really
