HI
I really like your show .
I will be getting a brand new HP desktop computer
p6-2220t 64bit windows 7.
How can I tell if it has microsoft UEFI Secure Boot?
I emailed HP but there not sure.
Planning to load linux mint,so I dont want to mess things up.
Take Care;
Mike

I’m no expert, but I think the fact that the computer has Windows 7 on it strongly suggests that it does NOT have UEFI. As far as I know, UEFI was introduced with Windows 8.
If you are getting the pc in store, bring a live cd. IF they dont let you test, walk away.
