Enable uefi mode in asus bios. How to disable Secure Boot protection in BIOS with UEFI support. Section Exit - Exit and save

Designed over 30 years ago, the BIOS's basic input/output system is outdated by today's standards. It is being replaced by the UEFI specification, which significantly changes the established and familiar boot procedure. This article is for those who are interested in a computer with UEFI.

Replacing an outdated BIOS

The Extensible Firmware Interface was developed by Intel in 1998. The current version of the specification is called the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. Computers released after 2010 are highly likely to work with the UEFI system. Unlike BIOS, new specification codes can be stored both on a chip motherboard, and in a special HDD section.

UEFI works with the new GPD layout, which is capable of supporting HDDs larger than 2TB and an unlimited number of partitions. In addition, the UEFI architecture is modular, hence supporting custom applications and drivers.

And, the most important part for this article: the new specification has a built-in download manager. Thereby Windows installation 7 c USB or external HDD does not require third-party downloaders.

Create a bootable flash drive

For creation, the Rufus 1.4.3 utility is considered. The program is notable for the fact that it does not require installation, has a very small size and is distributed completely free of charge. Of course, Rufus supports GPT markup HDD and work with the UEFI specification. The current version of the utility is available for download from the official website of the manufacturer.

After starting the utility, you must specify the name of the flash drive that will be bootable ( Attention! All data will be permanently deleted from it!), file system(choose FAT32), partition scheme, and system interface (choose GPT and UEFI). Opposite "" you need to specify the path to the ISO Windows image 7.

When all the parameters are correct, you can click on the "Start" button, and the process of preparing a bootable flash drive will begin. This will take some time, depending on the speed of your computer and the USB generation.

Apart from Rufus you can use WinSetupFromUSB program. It can also be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. The interface of these two programs is almost the same, so it makes no sense to consider the process separately.

Preparing for installation

In order to start the installation from a flash drive, you must first configure UEFI. To do this, you need to restart your computer and press F2 or Delete (depending on your motherboard, press both keys to be sure). After these steps, as in the case of the BIOS, you will be taken to the main control menu.

Press F7 or select the "Advanced" section. Next, go to the "boot" menu, select the option " USB support» and install Full Initialization. In the "Secure Boot" menu, set "Windows uefi mode".

Now open the Compatibility Support Module (or CSM) menu and in the "launch CSM" item, select "enabled". Open additional options and in the item "boot device options" select "only uefi". This item will allow you to filter flash drives and HDDs that cannot work with your specification. In the "boot from storage devices" column, select "both, uefi first".

Now you just have to specify the boot priority (boot priority). Place in the first place bootable flash drive, on the second - your HDD. The settings are completed, save them with the F10 key, confirm the decision, and the computer will restart.

Windows installation

If the previous points were followed correctly, after the computer is restarted, the standard installation of the operating system from the USB flash drive will begin. Click "next", "install", accept the user agreement, select full installation.

Now you need to call command line combination Shift + F10 . Next, enter the following sequence of commands:

diskpart (press enter after each command)
sel dis 0
clean
convert gpt
exit
exit

This place is more detailed. With these commands, you will delete all data from the HDD, mark it as GPD and format it for the subsequent installation of the system. Click "update" and "next".

The installation of Windows 7 on the HDD of your personal computer will begin. During the installation process, the PC will be rebooted several times, after which you will have to specify its name and password, time zone and set a list of users. Once the installation is complete, Microsoft Update will download and install all the necessary patches and drivers, and you will be ready to use your computer.

Secure Boot in BIOS with UEFI support

Protocol safe boot Secure Boot, based on special certified keys available only for Windows 8 and higher, will not allow you to install the operating system on your computer from any installation media other than media with "eight" or "ten". Therefore, in order to start installing another system on your desktop computer or laptop, you will need disable Secure Boot in UEFI-BIOS.

The "Secure Boot" parameter, which is responsible for disabling the secure boot protocol, is in most cases located in the " Security", " System Configuration" or "Boot" sections. But I want to say that to install, for example, Windows 7 on new laptop with UEFI-BIOS, it will not be enough to disable only "Secure Boot" in UEFI-BIOS, you also need to enable compatibility mode with others operating systems.

The parameter responsible for this is called by all manufacturers in different ways: “Launch CSM”, “CMS Boot”, “UEFI and Legacy OS”, “CMS OS”. And it is located, in the vast majority, in the section " Advanced", And in it, in the subsections" boot mode or OS Mode Selection.

On a laptop:

Here we select the “Boot Mode” or “OS Mode Selection” parameter, and switch it from the “UEFI OS” position (possibly “UEFI Boot”) to the “CSM Boot” position (possibly “UEFI and Legacy OS” or “CMS OS”) .

For the changes to take effect, press F10 and confirm saving the changes by selecting "Yes". Reboot. Now we will be able to load any operating system on our laptop.

Company Asus in their motherboards under the socket 1155 provided the user with new options for managing settings through the BIOS, presenting it with a graphical shell and the ability to change settings using the mouse. Let's see what has changed compared to the old way of presenting using pseudographics (text interface).

When preparing the article, motherboards were used ASUS P8P67 (LGA1155) and ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (LGA1155) .

EZ Mode

By default, the mode is enabled EZ Mode :

Several languages ​​are supported, but Russian is not among them.

In case of operation in EZ Mode a fully graphical shell appears, unlike the normal mode, which is as compatible and understandable as possible with previous versions BIOS from ASUS .
Everything is simplified as much as possible - there are three performance presets and a load order manager.
Everybody.

You can switch to advanced mode like this:

Main

The location of the main BIOS elements is typical (Advanced Mode) - at the top are the names of the sections, on the right side are hints, what each section is responsible for and which keys are available for navigation.

The first section of the menu contains information about BIOS versions, processor, memory. You can select the language and set the system time.

In the Security subsection, you can set a user password and an administrator password.

Hello dear readers! Today we will talk about one topic that is difficult at first glance, which will sound like this: UEFI Boot - what is it and how to disable UEFI in BIOS.

Of course, for a simple user, all these names and abbreviations do not mean anything, but nevertheless, buying modern desktop computers and laptops, you will still come face to face with these concepts.

Yes, friends, this is the same settings section on a blue background, which you can enter at the very beginning when you turn on the computer. Here's a picture to refresh your memory:

Many more enthusiasts tried to play with the voltage and frequency of the main processor here in order to increase the power of their machine. So, the BIOS microprogram was replaced by another, more modern one.

And as you already understood, it is called UEFI. Of the new innovations, it can be noted support high resolutions screen, very large discs and mouse operation.

If you read all the lines above and did not understand anything at all, then watch a short video to reinforce the topic:

So, it should definitely be said that a full-fledged UEFI system is still far from being implemented in all modern computers. But some of its new features, hitherto unseen, have been successfully implemented in the old BIOS shell.

And one of them, the so-called UEFI Boot (full name Secure Boot). The meaning of its work is to prevent the substitution of the system boot source, thereby reducing the use of unlicensed software.

That is, it turns out such a picture that now we will not be able to boot, for example, from a flash drive or a third-party disk. Indeed, in this situation, they simply will not be in the list of available devices:

But really, decide this problem possible and very easy. To do this, you need to make a couple of settings and that's it. So let's get to work. So, enough of the theory.

And in order to disable UEFI functions in BIOS, you must immediately enter it. As mentioned above, for this you need to press a certain key combination immediately after turning on the computer.

Thus, we turned off main function UEFI protection from third-party bootloaders. Then you should go to the "Boot" section and set the parameters as in the screenshot below:

After that, we should have a list of available devices. Now by changing their position in the list, you can manipulate the download sources. Again, using the author's example, this can be done with a keyboard shortcut Fn+F5/F6:

Well, after all the parameters entered, it remains only to save the changes. This is done in the "Exit" menu by selecting the "Exit Saving Changes" item:

That's all, my friends, now you know for sure the answer to the question: UEFI Boot - what is it and how to disable UEFI in BIOS. If you still have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.

Well, if you suddenly want to learn much about the UEFI BIOS, then watch a short video where this topic is covered more widely.
