Both Intel and Microsoft make money out of restricting user choice. A technology that prevents me from doing what I want with my own PC is not of much value to me. The alleged security benefits of UEFI are much overated outside of corporate desktops where there is a real need to lock down user machines. The million dollar moment will be if I find that Microsoft have locked the licence of Windows 10 on HP hardware to UEFI boot. I suspect that what I will have to do is the old trick of formatting the hard drive, installing Windows 7 in BIOS mode and then 'upgrade' to Windows 10. I know from experience that EasyBCD works with Windows 7/8.x as long as they boot from BIOS. To be more precise I want to use a utility EasyBCD which allows booting from either an ISO image or a VHD image. My particular need is to bypass UEFI and do an old fashioned Winows XP/7 style boot.
It seems to be the universal rule of support forums that the first response will be both accurate and useless.
