## Where i will find BIOS based devices
Any computer until 2010 or older will only have a BIOS system to boot. Any IBM pc
computer wil have also BIOS and any coputer until 2014 will have almost UEFI legacy
support to boot like BIOS.
On those system marked as older harware you will need a MBR based partition
table only, and cannot use GTP partitions.
## Where i will find UEFI based devices
Any computer since 2014 will have UEFI for sure, but 2013/2014 ones wil have
buggy UEFI implementations. Its recommended to avoid any computer from 2013
or 2014, and if you have a BIOS+UEFI then enabled the legacy mode.
Also any Vendor marked computer bqased on x86 or 64bit, or any 64bit
computer will have UEFI, specially those that are parnership with Mocosoft.
