    Hello,

    So I dropped in a shellx64.efi to the USB drive with Win 8 setup. Booted from efi, used the command bootx64.efi, created the partitions and installed. All fine, I'm typing on Explorer with secure boot now.

    The question I have is, how do I make sure it always boots with EFI? Right now I have to go into BIOS and choose EFI each time. First I had to use the repair Windows option, and use the command prompt to copy the shellx64.efi from USB to my boot disk.

    This is a bit annoying.

    Any hints?

    This is something I would also be interested in finding out so I will give the thread a friendly bump.

    You need to have the EFI boot manager (probably Windows Boot Manager in your case) first in your boot order list, once aptio falls out of EFI mode to check something it never goes back into it. You can use F7 while booting to select some form of removable media if you actually want to boot from that.

    Do you mean just choosing the disk with Windows 8 installed as first in boot order? Not sure what you mean.
