We’re the same way. Legacy BIOs for us as well. We do get systems from HP that have UEFI turned on and the techs have to manually switch back to BIOs to build.
Like John, we need to get rolling on supporting UEFI here soon.

We do have a few touchscreen kiosk type systems that are UEFI. Those were hand done by the IT minions with Windows 8.1 disc. Probably need to start the ball rolling on UEFI. I think our Dell’s we but ship with Legacy, not 100% sure. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Underwood, Bob Sent: Thursday, March 5, 2015 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] UEFI/GPT on Windows 7 Hey folks – Just an informal survey… what is your approach for systems running in UEFI mode in your environments? (Do you allow your process to deploy in whatever mode the machine is in? Do you force a particular mode?) And related to that, what about GPT formatted system disks? With Windows 8, we standardized on UEFI/GPT for all deployments, but have stuck to Legacy BIOS for Windows 7 deployments. To ease the (eventual) transition to Windows 10, we’re considering making the switch to UEFI for Windows 7 on Broadwell going forward. Just wanted to get a sense for what others are doing and what (if any) problems you’ve encountered with things like drivers and other standard processes. Thanks!
