I accidentally erased my back up , so reinstalled windows 10 but computer booted in legacy boot , I don’t see a difference in boot time or performance , is it ok to keep it that way ?or need to go back to uefi boot ?

 

[Nick Harrington]

UEFI is better but meh.. home use unlikely to see a difference

 

[Nick Harrington]

Secure boot the only real thing you ought to have - your call, not the end of the world either way

I would switch it back to UEFI and only use legacy as needed. Not exactly sure what issues it could cause; But it’s good practice.

The pc in question is a msi GT75VR Titan pro used only for gaming

And I can’t go back to uefi as wont let me go back from usb

 

[Jalal Aburas]

Any performance issues I may get from running in legacy boot ? In gaming ?

 

[Nick Harrington]

It's mainly going to cause problems if you have huge capacity drives and enormous partitions or lots of them - not having secure boot does technically mean you could get a virus that effects booting but that's extremely unlikely if you're sensible

Day to day - gaming etc - wont be effected

Is windows defender good ? Or download norton to be on the safe side ?

 

[Nick Harrington]

Windows defender and common sense should be all you need (keep windows up to date obviously)
