Hi,
I've set up my machine some time ago and have been playing with it.
Now that I'm happy with the setup (settings, programs, etc..) I'd like to reinstall everything and have a clean system again.
I'd also like to try UEFI, however some things are unclear to me.
A full backup was made, so worst case I can still go back.
My BIOS is the latest version.
First my hardware:Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe
Intel i7-3770k @ stock
16 GB ram @ stock
Geforce GTX 670 (x2 SLI)
Samsung 830 SSD (Intel Sata 6Gb/s)
Seagate 2TB (Intel Sata 6Gb/s)
Blu-ray (Marvell 6Gb/s)
Asus PhoebusNow do I have to change things in my BIOS/UEFI to make sure this works?
Do both the SSD and Seagate have to be formatted in GPT?
Anything else needs special attention?
Assuming the installation works.
This is actually a general OS installation question.
Do you update Windows first or do you install drivers first?
Also what is really needed?
