    How to know whether my BIOS system is on UEFI or legacy


    Hi all,

    Please have a look at my system's specs. I've searched the web for finding a correct way to know if my system's BIOS mode is on UEFI or legacy but couldn't unfortunately.

    would you please tell me a solution?

    @Brink: Hello dear, I hope you are really fine.
    I tried methods given by your link but my system is not that good boy to answer the question. Anyway, I thank you.

    @johnhoh: Thanks, it worked. :)
    It seems to be like yours. But what does it mean, UEFI or Legacy!?

    I want to know is because I want after that to install an Ubuntu OS alongside Windows 10 as dual boot. But I don't know which way should I choose.
    I asked many question by the text above. I would be grateful if you answer them all. :)
    Thank to all.


    @Brink: Why don't you add johnhoh's way as the fifth method on your link?
