Eeknir Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I have a laptop which requires compability module to run Windows 7 ( Came with Windows 8.1, downgraded it to 7 ). I turned the compability module off for no reason and it works pretty fine. Is there a way that I can check if the bios is running the module automatically? EDIT: Compability module is working, it doesn't load safe mode without it. Edited May 26, 2020 by Eeknir Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 It is possible that (one way or the other) you managed to make a "dual boot system" or actually more a "dual boot single system", tha can boot BOTH in BIOS and in UEFI mode. Files used are different, in BIOS: \BOOTMGR \Boot\BCD vs. \EFI\Microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD In the booted system you should be able to see if you booted BIOS (please read as CSM) or UEFI, on 7 you will need to check SetupAct.log: https://www.eightforums.com/threads/bios-mode-see-if-windows-boot-in-uefi-or-legacy-mode.29504/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
