When I go into BIOS, there is no menu item in any of the divisions ie. Main, Advanced etc that mention Legacy or UEFI. I have tried the restart method but that too does not show UEFI.
I have been able to install W11 23H2 but going to 24H2 is a no go. It is my understanding that 24H2 will not install on Legacy machines - even Rufus advises that during the compilation of a Rufus USB set up.
Please confirm that the Tecra has come to its end of life as an up to date Windows machine.
When I upgraded my 12 year old desktop from 23h2 to 24h2 I just made a rufus USB drive , plugged it in and ran setup.exe and all went well. Just make sure for a setup that you have the correct ISO language file otherwize it will only allow an upgrade but won't keep anything.
