Most laptops models we tested worked fine, except the entire Yoga line (Yoga 
12, Yoga 13, Yoga 260/460).

All desktops failed because although you can set it via the GUI, the features 
are not exposed to WMI, so it cannot be done in an automated fashion.

Tickets are open with Lenovo for both issues.

And yes, on the UEFI vs. BIOS item, how the system is booted determines which 
step executes.

Pretty sure with Win10 you don’t need UMDF or KMDF anymore, its native, or 
atleast doesn’t require a separate package loaded into the OS.

I am now just starting to switch over to UEFI for all our systems. It is my 
understanding that these two (screen shot below) settings,

[cid:[email protected]]

which are automatically included in any new MDT 2013 Task Sequence, is all you 
need to format the disk accordingly?

From what I can tell, and please let me know if I am wrong, “How” you boot into 
MDT is the determining factor. Meaning a normal boot with normal BIOS settings 
(Legacy /AHCI) will get you “Format and Partition Disk (BIOS)” and if boot up 
using UEFI boot stick with BIOS settings UEFI and RAID On will use “Format and 
Partition Disk (UEFI)”?

I understand what you are doing / trying to do with working the changing of 
BIOS settings into the task sequence.

On a slightly different subject, With Windows 7 we use Umdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x64 
and kmdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x64. What do we use for windows 10 systems?

These links:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/wdf/kmdf-version-history
https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/wdf/umdf-version-history

Indicate to use UMDF Version 2.15 or 2.17 and KMDF Version 1.15 or 1.17. 
Problem is, I cannot find either of these versions and 1.11 versions are not 
supposed to be compatible with Windows 10. Do these new versions exist to be 
downloaded? I can’t find them.

Not sure if you mean that your solution is ‘converting’ the disk vs. doing a 
‘format & partition’, but I would steer clear of the ‘converting’ solutions as 
they are not supported by Microsoft.

So there’s two Mike’s and two solutions


1)      Mike T from 1E presented a solution at MMS which requires 1E Nomad

2)      Mike B (that’s me) and my team developed a solution that we’re working 
on making available on GitHub.

Yes, Mike (and I) have a single BIOS to UEFI task sequence working right now. 
We announced, at MMS 2016, availability in Q3 2016.

Please note that “single UEFI Task Sequence” is just the *first* step in the 
process to convert your Windows 7 BIOS machines to Windows 10 UEFI.
I can think of about a half a dozen technical challenges (OEM Specific 
commands, Application Mapping, MBR to GPT, etc…), that need to be addressed, 
and we are currently working that End-to-End solution.

Sorry to reply to an older thread, but I was curious if Mike received 
permission to share the single UEFI task sequence? If not, I would be fine with 
a high-level overview of the steps that you are taking to complete it in one 
shot, hopefully I could pick it up from there. I am planning our Windows 10 
upgrade for ~2000 Dell PC’s and would love to leverage this in a task sequence. 
So far I have only been able to duplicate what Mike Terrill and others in the 
community have done with 2 sequences.

Thanks,

I have a little more work to do to prove that it’s rock solid, but my team and 
I just got it working with one TS on a Dell system. Overall all we were able to 
convert MBR to GPT and BIOS to UEFI as part of this process.

Once I finish up validating the process across a few more models and the 
lawyers give me the go-ahead I’ll share (hopefully around MMS).

We just started down this road. Had to create 2 task sequences, leveraging Mike 
Terrill’s blog.

So currently we run the first TS, and then it reboots and then we select the 
windows 10 TS.

I am forcing my teams to manually enble what is needed, since lenovo no longer 
supports scripting secureboot.  I have a powershel script to check for 
secureboot and prompt/fail accordingly.  Works rather nicely too.

Yes, reboot, then repartition the Hard Disk to GPT.

As long as you boot into WinPE on the next round in UEFI mode, MDT LiteTouch 
and SCCM OSD will handle the rest, including cleaning the disk for GPT for New 
Computer scenarios.

Hello everyone,
All our Dell machines are BIOS instead of UEFI. I want to change this to UEFI 
with SecureBoot when we deploy Windows 10.

During the task sequence, if I use Dell’s tool to change BIOS to UEFI and 
enable SecureBoot, do I need to reboot before I install Windows?

Thank you,
Daniel
