    Trying to boot in UEFI on my CF-31, I have the harddrive in gpt format with windows 10, so computer wont boot until I activate UEFI in Bios.

    The only Boot Mode I have in my Bios is Normal or Fast, cant find any place to activate UEFI, any ideas? Any Bios update I could get?

    CF-31 Mk1
    Bios V1.00L19
    EC V1.00L16
    Aptio setup utility 2.00.1201

    Thanks

    Excellent so I broke my computer, based on what your saying Steve either I buy a Mk4 or newer and put my current hard drive in there, or get a new hard drive for my Mk1.
