UEFI
 
Hello, I have an old PC that would like to experiment is ASROCK G31M-VS using CORE2DUO e8400 processor, what should I choose in Multibeast option? UEFI or Legacy? thank you so much :)
 
Hi,
I'm having some trouble deciding between UEFI or Legacy for my GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ELITE mobo. I'm wondering if it's UEFI capable, since the installation guide says to use UEFI for all capable systems. The guide also says to use Legacy for all BIOS based systems, which mine is.
I'm also hoping to install Windows 10 after successfully installing Catalina, in case that matters in making this decision.
I apologize if this seems self-explanatory, but I would really appreciate some clarification.
Thanks!

Z390 motherboards all use UEFI so you should choose to use UEFI and not Legacy. Legacy is only for traditional BIOS systems like those motherboards based on X58 or P55 chipsets, more than 10 years ago.
