Changing BIOS settings between Windows 8 32-bit and Windows 8 64-bit
In order to install a 32-bit version of Windows 8 and to be able to boot from 32-bit media, you must disable the
Security Boot option in the BIOS settings. Switching back to the 64-bit version of Windows 8 from the 32-bit version
of Windows 8 will require you to revert the above change and to re-enable Secure Boot. If you do not re-enable Secure
Boot, the following product functionalities will not be enabled as it relies on native UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface) mode boot:
1
Secure Boot
2
Seamless Boot experience
3
Network unlock for Bitlocker for systems with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
4
eDrive support
