Re: for the life of me I can't figure out how to enable Legacy boot. R10 BIOS BIOS has option to load legacy rom.  try that to see if it will let you boot from old drive partitioned in MBR.  when legacy option is loaded, you can press F12 to choose which device to boot from. System setup options—Boot menu   there is also way to convert a boot drive partitioned in MBR to GPT without nee to reinstall OS and make it bootable in UEFI bios.  once this is done it cannot be undone. MBR2GP.EXE is a built-in Microsoft utility located in Win\System 32 directory in Windows 10. MBR2GPT allows you to convert MBR system disk to GPT without deleting data. You can apply MBR2GPT in the following steps: Press “Windows” + “R”< type “cmd”< Type “mbr2gpt /convert /disk 0 /allowfullos”< Press “Enter”. Then, you will get the following screenshot.[IMAGE] Re: I heard this was because Dell requires a Dell branded graphics card. not true but that issue is moot since you have a working gpu now.
I purchased an Aurora R10 Ryzen edition off ebay with no graphics card and no hard drive as an upgrade from my R1 which I was using as a software dev box. So far its been a disaster and I hate this thing. First off, I have an msi 960 graphics card. I don't do gaming much so I don't really need anything bigger, just something that will handle my 48" monitor. Plugging this in I got no display. I heard this was because Dell requires a Dell branded graphics card. So I got an R7 250 off ebay. From there I was able to at least get display. Then I plugged in my Samsung EVO SSD running Windows 10. It does recognize it in the BIOS but I can't seem to boot from it. I'm assuming it has to do with Secure boot. I disabled that and wanted to do a Legacy boot, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to enable Legacy boot. UEFI is the only option. With the amount of information on my drive, reformatting or reinstalling windows isn't exactly feasible, as I have SQL Server, Visual Studio Ultimate, multiple other dev tools, etc running and I'm working easily 12 hours a day including weekends so I don't have much time. Any ideas how I can get this to work?
