My laptop, HP Envy, which I bought in 2015, should have had Win 8 installed when I bought it, but I decided to upgrade to Win 7. I am trying to determine whether it is using BIOS or UEFI. I have searched on-line of course, and it would seem to be simple enough, but…
The first option was to look for BIOS Mode in System Information > System Summary. I did that, but there is no mention of BIOS Mode. There is a BIOS Version/Date which is Insyde F.67, 06-June-16
The next option was:
1″In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\Panther, you will see a file named setupact.log.”
So I looked at Windows\Panther\ and there is no such file. I searched for it: found two of them. One in Windows\ Setupact.log which was all AudMig…… The other in Windows\System32\sysprep\Panther\IE\Setupact.log to which I was “denied access”.
Does it have to be so difficult?
