Hi Andre,

I'm sure this system works in BIOS mode. Will it also work if installed
in UEFI mode, and will it be portable between BIOS and UEFI mode and
able to boot 32-bit and 64-bit computers in BIOS and UEFI mode?

If 'yes to all', you have a more straight-forward solution than I have.

Best regards
Nio
