I suppose compatibility with SB isn't an issue in the short term, since they could just use a signed intermediary shim loader. (including scenarios where Secure Boot is enabled). I'm kind of surprised that noone has developed a comprehensive emulation solution that works on most UEFI systems. Yes, I figured it would need to be an efi executable binary, for it to be able to load after the PC starts. Basically, the exact opposite of UEFI DUET or Clover, which I've used in the past. Something that starts out in UEFI mode, but then loads an emulated BIOS environment. I'm basically asking if there exists a non-VM emulated BIOS environment that allows UEFI only PCs to boot legacy stuff. This will relegate users needing legacy support to VMs.or emulators. Within a few years, all new PCs will be UEFI only, is my personal guess. But I'm betting that once RTM hits, MS will try to enforce these requirements, with little leniency in regards to the stated requirements.Īnd there are now UEFI only PCs that don't allow legacy boot at all. For now, there are workarounds that allow it to boot in legacy mode. So, I could upgrade to it, but I don't want to give up legacy booting so easily. They are requiring 8th gen Intel/AMD equivalent, whereas I have a 7th gen (i7-7700K with unlocked cores and no overclocking enabled).
My PC meets all the requirements except for CPU. Microsoft is now requiring UEFI, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 for Windows 11. Presumably AMD will follow suit, sooner or later. Some time ago, Intel stated that legacy support would be discontinued, presumably starting in 2020. But I figured now would be a good time to ask. I don't even know if such a thing exists right now, not including VMs.
