Transitioning from 10 to 11, and UEFI/Legacy fun

1242

I was just about put the old Dell laptop away until I need it, but then I remembered that it's on the list for needing Windows 10 replaced with something else, so time to install Win11 IoT.


Started poorly when I got the Rufus error message telling me the USB boot drive is UEFI only and the laptop is set to boot in legacy mode. I hope I don't need to reflash the Win11 stick…


I'll boot into Win10 one last time to see what programs I need, then try again. This could be a good place to write that:


  • DOSBox 

  • Surf shark 

  • Hakchi

  • Zoom

  • Standard Ninite stuff
