I thought the presence of /boot/efi/EFI meant it was booting UEFI but I checked my MythTV system which hasn't seen a fresh install since 2012 and it has those directories as well. It does have BIOS_BOOT since the main HD is gpt partitioned. > Since you are getting what is most likely a classic BIOS grub version now > when booting now your BIOS likely remembered that you booted in classic > mode > the last time and stuck with that. > > If Windows 10 expects to be loaded through UEFI then chainloading won't > work. > Take a look in your BIOS if you can turn EFI mode on, or try hitting F12 / > F8 > (or some such) to get your BIOS boot menu.

The ONLY option related to EFI in the BIOS is for CD/DVD devices which is set, hence Win10 getting installed EFI using the disc. I may have to actually burn the ISO to disk to get it to boot in UEFI mode. Thanks, Richard
