Hi Guys,
I should receive my Asus Maximus VII Hero, Samsung EVO 840 Basic, Seagate Barracuda together with a retail Windows 8.1 64Bit DVD this week.
After doing some general research on the new motherboard i discovered this thing called UEFI, and found out that you can install Windows on your SSD so that it runs faster than trough the old bios (legacy?)
I have read serveral guides on how to install Windows on your SSD trough UEFI, but also found out alot of people have to change some settings in the bios first for the SSD to actually boot the Windows disc in UEFI.
Now my quest is: Will i actually have to do anything on my bios first, or will this new motherboard have UEFI and everything else that is needed enabled by default?
Will i be able to just put the Windows disc in and boot the SSD disc in UEFI straight away?
The guides that i have been reading are making my head explode, as i am not familiar with SSD or UEFI, last time i installed Windows it was Windows 7 just normal on a HDD.
But still i am wanting to get as much performance out of my new system as possible.
I’m sorry if my question is not clear enough, english is not my native language.
