I've alwo written a lot about UEFI in relation to Debian in the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI >Also, in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/05/msg00107.html , it >was suggested that a separate thread be begun on the question of > "Whether or not you can update/install UEFI if you are not booted > into UEFI." The normal way to use a system with UEFI firmware involves using/updating boot variables via UEFI Runtime Services. You can only set those variables up when your system is already running in UEFI mode. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
