I can't seem to narrow down what I need to get a fresh install of Windows 10 on my laptop. Brief history:
-Bought HP G7-2235dx for my wife.
-She hated windows 8
-I formatted the hard drive, set Bios to Legacy mode, install fresh Windows 7
-I upgraded it to windows 10 but can't use Uefi now
So at this point I want to install a fresh copy of windows 10 in Uefi mode. The PC will not recognize the hard drive without Legacy mode enable. It also will not recognize the disk drive I am guessing because I have set it to UEFI mode and arranged boot priority and it does not find it.
I can turn on Legacy mode but I am guessing that if I install windows 10 again while in Legacy mode I will be right back where I started.
How do I allow myself to turn on UEFI, and have the HDD and the internal disk drive visable at this point?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
