Laptop

[Stephen Partington]

If you install with EFI enabled then you need to run with it enabled. If
you install with Legacy Bios then you need to run that way. flipping back
and forth will cause issues.

The laptop you have, it came with windows pre-configured? and are you
trying to preserve that?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
