I didn't find a precise date for BIOS, but Wikipedia[1] shows that the first version of Windows for x64 that can read and write GPT was published on 2005-04-25. To boot with UEFI, a later version was published on 2006-07-22. I think this means most BIOSes were compatible to various degrees at this time. So if your box is less than 20 years old, it should be OK ! I don't remember how powerful the boxes were at this time, but they still had floppy disk drives :) > Thanks to anyone who has a link, some notes or something. :-D > > Dale > > :-) :-) Good luck Mickaël Bucas [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Windows:_64-bit_versions
