    Hi,
    There's probably another option behind uefi in the red box
    Check in the security section too

    Sorry for posting to this old thread(probably should have created new one), but I have exactly the same question: is it possible at all to use windows 7 (x64) in pure UEFI mode? That is not only UEFI/GPT boot, but also all CSM/legacy disabled in BIOS. Has anyone succeeded in doing this? I don't understand official MS position: it seems they say that OS itself should support legacy-free UEFI operation, but some 3rd party drivers(video for instance) require CSM. For me this seems to be not true: with CSM disabled I get stuck even during safe mode(command prompt) boot just after the CLASSPNP.SYS driver is loaded, while with CSM enabled it boots OK. So the problem arises before any graphics/video driver is loaded. Maybe this happens because I have converted my installation from BIOS/MBR, but not initially installed in UEFI/GPT mode? Anyway it's interesting to know if somebody has installed in UEFI mode and has windows 7 bootable with CSM disabled completely.

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    Without CSM you have no secure boot
    Without secure boot you have no use for UEFI install best to use the default AHCI compatibility with only C drive and no system reserved partitions at all and CSM is enabled.

    Safe mode and safe mode with networking those are something I have no idea how to get into on my x99 board

    I believe Shift+power up button

    I don't use secure boot, just turned it off in BIOS. UEFI install is still useful if I want to dual-boot with other UEFI OS, or just want to have GPT drive bootable. Turning CSM off is useful because it reduces boot time, since no legacy cruft is loaded. You could try to boot into safe mode pressing F8 at the start of loading windows to go into boot menu?

    F8 is my boot menu list on x99.
