What do you mean "would not load"? From the live ISO? I had no such problem here on a bare metal install (no Windows) with sysrescuecd. You have to make sure the sysrescuecd is booting in UEFI mode before you proceed with the installation. > So ... Windows setup UEFI just fine.

So, unless I interrupt it pressing F2 to get into UEFI menu, it will boot into the default OS image, which is the latest I have setup with efibootmgr. -- Regards, Mick
