To my amazement I have discovered that my Dell Inspiron desktop was designed NOT to be bootable UEFI.
(It is five years old and just sat for half that time, so has plenty of life left in it.)
I found this while trying over and over to migrate from Legacy to UEFI, so ended up at the Dell site, to
see an engineer had stated that the boot could not be changed as it was built to be that way.
(Well it explored a lot that this old man could not easily follow, and it does explain many misadventures I
have had trying other distros that would install but not reboot. (BEFORE Linux Lite!)
Will Linux Lite stay Legacy boot? Is there any other distro left that will, and maybe not ubuntu-based?
Thanks for any suggestions.
