This is very helpful. I am all Windows 7 x64 right now. We don't do refreshes here; we always do bare metal OSD because we don't care about preserving any local data. I think I will start having the PC Techs use UEFI so we can have an easier transition to Win 10. ________________________________ John Marcum MCITP, MCTS, MCSA Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ [H_Logo] From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Miller, Todd Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 4:47 PM To: mdt...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mdt...@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] TMP issues with Dell m5510s I think the main advantage for UEFI with Windows 7x64 (only available in 64bit) is that if you deploy Windows 7x64 with UEFI enabled with a GPT formatted HD, then you will be able to do an inplace upgrade to Windows 10 and still take advantage of the tremendous security advantages available when running Windows 10 in UEFI mode. If you want to upgrade Windows 7 -> Windows 10 and your disk is oldstyle MBT formatted, then you either need to do the upgrade to Windows 10 as a bare metal/wipe&load or forgo the security benefits of UEFI in Windows 10. I feel like the security benefits of running Windows 10 in UEFI mode are very real and significant. So deploying Windows 7 in UEFI mode now will ease the upgrade process to Windows 10 in the future when SCCM is able to support deploying Windows 10. I don't think there's a real benefit to running Windows 7 in UEFI, just significant future gains. UEFI will also let you use gigantic drives as a boot disk. One disadvantage of UEFI I've found is that the scripts and tools provided to change the BIOS settings are "challenging." I had a real hard time manipulating the boot devices in UEFI and eventually gave up. So you know how can be difficult to do the TPM stuff in BIOS for Bitlocker -it is different/harder in UEFI mode. It is easy to force the next reboot to come from the Hard Disk or disable booting from USB devices in BIOS mode-- that is difficult, in my trials-impossible, in UEFI mode. There are year's worth of examples for manipulating BIOS settings while the examples, blogs, and documentation for doing the same in UEFI are still kind of lacking.

What are the advantages/disadvantages to using either UEFI or legacy bios now? Specifically, with Win 7. ________________________________ John Marcum MCITP, MCTS, MCSA Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ [H_Logo] From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of ODONNELL Aaron M Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 11:41 AM To: 'mdt...@lists.myitforum.com' <mdt...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mdt...@lists.myitforum.com>> Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] TMP issues with Dell m5510s We were unable to get bitlocker to encrypt on our Skylake-based optiplex 7040 and 5040s until we applied the 1.2.1 BIOS update to them. We use legacy mode for Windows 7.

I am not dealing with the issue myself but am being told the issue may be with the new Skylake processor models in general. Has anyone on the list deployed a Dell with a new Intel Skylake (63xx) and BitLocker?
