How to install windows 8/8.1/10 on any UEFI supported laptop

Posts: 398
OS on a GPT formatted disk, booted with UEFI, is BETTER THEN MBR & BIOS !
Why ?
Way Faster OS boot (I.E POST), with NO blinking underscore !
Better (auto) chances to recover info from bad/damaged sector/block !
(Partition table is redundantly stored, checked using CRC)
No 2TiB limit on HDD size
and MORE: READ MORE HERE & HERE

As I KNOW by experience that win7,8.1,10 CAN WORK WITHOUT "Windows RE tools" partition -> "Windows RE
tools" partition is NOT necessary !!
A. NOTE: IT'S IMPERATIVE that you boot the installation disk AS UEFI COMPATIBLE DEVICE !
(otherwise you cannot install windows on a GPT formatted drive )
There are MANY guides to show how to create the installation DISK/USB in the right manner:
ONE OPTION, another OPTION, another OPTION, "official way" for win10 ONLY.
B. It's also imperative that, although you've created the installation disk/usb in the right way, you MUST ALSO
BOOT IT IN THE RIGHT WAY: (I.E UEFI boot !)
Make sure in the BIOS that "LAUCH CSM" is DISABLED !!
Make sure you BOOT THE INSTALLATION DISK/USB AS UEFI!
Please look at the following photo. To boot the INSTALLATION DISK as "UEFI" meaning picking the
2nd option from the top (NOT the 3rd) !!
BIOS SELECTION3.png
If you didn't see & picked "uefi: xxxxxxx" (xxx = name of your disk/usb) at the boot selection
screen -> read and DO "1st part" again !
2nd Step: How to format a drive with GPT layout for windows 8/8.1/10 ?
IT IS A PRE-REQUISITE TO INSTALL WINDOWS !
PLEASE NOTE:
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL ERASE EVERYTHING (ALL PARTITIONS) ON THE SPECIFIC DRIVE YOU
CHOOSE !
LESS RECOMMENDED: instead of formatting and losing data, you can CONVERT your MBR disk to be a GPT
disk: Guide HERE.
* The advanced/manual method is through set of commands of "DISKPART" utility. (SOURCE: MS official page)
The BIG ADVANTAGE with this method, that "Windows RE Tool" partition won't be created, thus you profit from the free-
space ( ~300 MB ) and one less partition to be shown when you look at the partition map/list.
1. 1st, boot into windows recovery environment, and open CMD -> write "diskpart" -> enter -> wait for it to load.
( "How to" guide HERE )
2. VERY IMPORTANT: inside "diskpart", write: "list disk" to see all your disks.
Note the disk number of the disk you wish to format.
Write "select disk #" where # = disk number you wish to format.
3. ONLY THEN perform the following commands: (lines start with "rem" are notes... NOT commands!)
clean

NOTE: if you create additional partition after the "windows" partition, you can format it now, or
after the OS installation, through the "disk management" utility -> it really doesn't matter to the
OS installation procedure, but it's best to leave it to later, just to prevent you from massing the
disk structure, if you don't know what you're doing.

Posts: 398 1. IN ADVANCED You need "change"/"mod" windows installer to install the "right" form of edition&channel you
need.
Why ? Because you can NOT change the edition NOR the channel of windows after installation.
Plus, you can NOT change the edition of installed windows after installation.
Channel consideration:
Use windows that came when you purchase the laptop and plan to reinstall -> you need OEM
channel !
Bought a Retail copy ?(I.E physical disk/usb copy of windows) -> you need Retail channel
Edition consideration:
plan to format & reinstalling same version ? CHECK your current edition
plan to free-upgrade to win10 ? CHECK HERE what you're going to have
How to do all of that ? ( for Windows 7/8/8.1 ONLY !!! Win10 DON'T USES EI.CFG !)
Create/edit with notepad file named "ei.cfg" in "sources" folder inside the installation disk/usb, with the right
edition & channel.
got a multiple-edition disk ? leave [EditionID] empty !
make sure [VL] is 0.
Got your laptop from big organization ? -> ask your admin if your windows is VL licensed
2. Ready to install ? Enter windows installation setup, and when you arrive at the screen where you're asked to
pick a partition for the installation of the windows, pick your "WINDOWS" partitions you've created beforehand
(step 13-14 in THIS GUIDE)
NOTE: If you've performed the "advanced/manual method" you should NOT format any partition/drive from
that screen, as it will change the disk structure and add unnecessary partitions as I explained above !
Q: "How do I know if I have NOT successfully boot windows installation in UEFI supported mode ?"
A: When you arrive to "Where to install windows" screen, if you get an alert at the bottom like the following
image -> read and DO steps 4 then 5 again !
Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table2.png
3. Just installed Win10 & you see "GET GOING FAST" screen (step 15 HERE) ? WAIT ! read the following:
You need to ask yourself if you care about YOUR PRIVACY !!!!
Why Win10 that diffrent from any other prior versions ?
Google for "windows 10 privacy" and you'll get ~487,000,000 search results!!!
READ HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE or just Google it.
What can you do to protect yourself ?
1st KNOW THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE 100% proof, once connected to the internet.
This is true for ANY OS !
The best you can do is to make it REALLY HARD for others to "spy" on you...
follow the next (optional) few steps to stop (as best as possible) this unwelcome privacy invasion:
4. After installing windows 10 and before creating your account
(@gps3dx remarks: I.E: During "GET GOING FAST" screen (step 15 HERE))
open cmd.exe with Shift + F10
then...use Sc.exe to delete the 2 services by running this in CMD:
scdeletedmwappushsvc
scdeletediagtrack
Then, to deny system accessing to the file AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl with cacls - run this in CMD:
cdC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger
echo"">AutoLoggerDiagtrackListener.etl
caclsAutoLoggerDiagtrackListener.etl/dSYSTEM
thats all

5. Close CMD from the previous step and press "Customize settings" (step 15 HERE)

Gps3dx GUIDE: HOW TO (EASILY!) UPGRADE FROM WIN7 SP1/8.1 WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE UPGRADE PROCESS ITSELF
!
ROG Guru: Orange Belt *** my own remarks/notes in green color ***
Gps3dx PC Specs Preconditions:
A. You have win7 SP1/8.1 activated successfully.
Join Date: Feb 2015
This actually doesn't apply to VL Volume_licenses no KMS (loader yes, pre-installations yes, OEM_DM for w8.1
Reputation: 38
yes, OEM system builder yes, retail yes), since they are officially not upgradeable.

B. Download your original w10 ISO which is suitable for the upgrade path. I.E. W7(SP1) Ultimate upgrades to w10
pro.
3. Then do a fresh install with your suitable win10 ISO, skip to enter key at setup procedure.
For "How to" guide for that, read 1st post in this thread.
4. Once it's installed make sure your internet connection is DISABLED.
I.E do not enable the internet connection!
ONLY after you do that, Reboot w10.
5. Copy GenuineTicket.xml to

Clintlgm Every thing looks pretty good, in Diskpart its not necessary format or create any partitions. The windows install will format
and create all needed partitions. so after convert GPT, should be exit and continue the install.

The thing is ( i might need to rewrite it above ) that when you let windows format for you, it creates the "windows RE tools"
useless partition.
But i'll upate the post with the exit command, and emphasize the alternative you mentioned as an "easier"/quick way.
