    Default UEFI & windows x86

    just a little learning curve i discovered with windows 8
    the new uefi bios that ships with new windows 8 computers
    will only run x64 windows
    i found out the hard way reverting a win 8 back to win 7 without research
    so if you intend on putting 32 bit windows on a new pc, you need to change the bios
    hard drive format to legacy & not uefi

    Computers pre-installed with 64-Bit Windows 8 make exclusive use of UEFI - instead of the old wellknown BIOS. That's a demand of Microsoft.
