Topic: uefi v2.3.1 Errata B Posted: 04 Nov 2012 at 12:01pm |
I want to upgrade to Win Pro 8 but the compatibility check found out that I either do not have NX or it is not turned on. Another issue is that it says my PC's firmware doesn't support Secure Boot: "Secure boot requires firmware that supports UEFI v2.3.1 Errata B and has the Microsoft Windows Certification Authority in the UEFI signature database" What is it and can I update my PC's firmware to that version? Or I need to get an upgraded hardware? Any input is appreciated! :)
My PC: Processor: Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz (Quad Core) OC to 3.7GHz Motherboard: EVGA X58 LE Edition SLI System Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Power Supply: 1000W Video Card(s): 1x ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB OS: Windows Pro 7 |

NX Is also called execute disable bit. Go into BIOS and select CPU feature from the frequency/voltage control menu. Make sure execute disable bit is enabled.
Windows 8 supports secure boot. Windows 8 will still run on legacy computers that do not support secure boot so you should be okay. From the Microsoft Web Page What does Upgrade Assistant do?There are four main things that Upgrade Assistant does:
