The OSs with the EFI folder are. But you can get detection with an EFI folder even if you delete the OS. | |

In fact if i'd have chosen NTFS then it wouldn't work. Not all UEFIs support NTFS, mine doesn't. And also, the requirement of the EFI folder with the file, that's higher level than the file system, and was a necessity for detection. | |
| Dec 2, 2015 at 22:44 | comment | added | barlop | You write "If changing a bios setting from legacy to UEFI " <-- I think that technically, that thing is the UEFI, either set to UEFI mode or to legacy/bios mode. But even in legacy mode it's not called a BIOS. It's a UEFI behaving in a way compatible with a BIOS. | |
