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
WARNING
: Reverting back to UEFI mode will require a hard drive reformat. All data
