Doggone it, sometimes it doesn't pay to live half a world away (unless you live in Australia), I get 8 hours of shuteye, then have guests over for Sunday lunch roast, and I miss 17 Posts
. Mind you, I nailed the pork crackling, Brian would have loved it.
I'll pen some observations, then duck over to the other Thread and do likewise, then come back and do my Likes at leisure over a beer ... OK over another beer.
For the benefit of The Viewers, the OP and I traded specs from the command
at his/her* first Thread here (mine)

and here (his/hers*) - can we learn gender, if not too personal? Will respect your choice.

They are in the Spoilers.
In
mine is a line
UEFI: Insyde v: 1.60 date: 04/18/2014
In his/hers is a line
UEFI: Insyde v: F.21 date: 10/27/2016
So we are both using UEFI, not BIOS.
There is also a mode called CSM (Compatibility Support Mode) aka "Legacy Mode".
When I am running in Legacy Mode, my same line comes up looking like this, under inxi -Fxs:
UEFI [Legacy]: Insyde v: 1.60 date: 04/18/2014
... my highlighting.
And the OP and I are also both using Insyde BIOS setup utility, albeit his/hers is more recent. But could prove handy.
Another simple way to determine if using UEFI is ... use your File Manager, or a simple command or two at Terminal.
We are looking for Folder named /sys/firmware/efi - if you have it, you are on UEFI, if you don't, you are on BIOS.
Under my UEFI booting, I have this
and under CSM (Legacy) mode booting, it looks like this
Or at Terminal
If you
don't get as below, you are in BIOS
One more thing is GPT cf MSDOS/MBR
Type this at Terminal and report back the output
Code:
sudo fdisk -l | grep -i "disklabel"
That -l is a lowercase L
The pipe symbol can be found on a QWERTY keyboard likely a little right of letter p, over a backslash, looks like two small vertical lines.
On an AZERTY keyboard it could be under the numeral 6.
Note the space between -l and and | and grep. The -i means case insensitive (will find upper or lower)
I have
I'm off, back when I can.
