#Windows 7 loader extreme edition uefi windows#
Windows installation in UEFI mode has 4 basic requirements:Ī) A UEFI enabled platform (The Rampage motherboards in this case.)ī) A 圆4 Operating System that supports it (Windows 8 or 7 in this case.)Ĭ) Installing to GPT partitioned disk or RAID array that includes an "EFI System Partition" or ESP for short.ĭ) Booting the installation media in UEFI mode: This opens a submenu that allows "Custom" mode as described above.ī)"Other OS": This setting turns it off and contrary to what the name suggests this is what you should set if you use or plan to use Windows in UEFI mode and don't want Secure Boot. This information is provided though for those who may choose to enable it willingly.Ī)"Windows UEFI": This setting turns Secure Boot on. This is beyond the scope of this guide though and for the duration of this guide I will suggest to keep it disabled in order to avoid any issues with dual booting etc. Meaning once you enable it, you can't boot anything else unless you disable it or place it in "Custom" mode and configure public keys. This feature can be quite problematic as it won't allow you to boot any bootloaders that are not signed. Secure boot is only supported/enforced on Windows 8. Secure boot canĪlso be placed in "Custom" mode, where additional public keys can be added to the system that do not match Used, but they must still have a connection to the private portion of the Platform key. "Key Exchange Keys" (KEK) can be added to a database stored in memory to allow other certificates to be

Mode, where only drivers and loaders signed with the platform key can be loaded by the firmware. Once the key is written, secure boot enters "User" The "Platform key" (PK) to be written to the firmware. When secure boot is enabled, it is initially placed in "Setup" mode, which allows a public key known as Preventing the loading of drivers or OS loaders that are not signed with an acceptable digital signature. The UEFI 2.2 specification adds a protocol known as Secure boot, which can secure the boot process by This Boot Manager is accessible and viewable in the UEFI menu and F8 Boot options. "Windows Boot Manager" is the boot manager that comes with Windows when it is installed in UEFI mode. It is common for UEFI firmware to include a user interface to the boot manager, to allow the user to selectĪnd load the operating system among the possible options. Relies on a standardized file path to the OS loader, depending on the actual architecture to boot

UEFI does not rely on a boot sector.īoot loaders can also be auto-detected by firmware, to enable booting on removable devices. Supported file systems include FAT32, FAT16 and FAT12. As such, they are stored as files on a file system that can beĪccessed by the firmware. OS loaders are a class of UEFI applications. Including boot variables that indicate the paths to the loaders. The boot configuration is controlled by a set of global NVRAM variables,

The UEFI specification defines a "boot manager", a firmware policy engine that is in charge of loading the
