XPS 8700, UEFI mode or legacy boot?

Hello,

My XPS 8700 has two modes: UEFI or legacy boot.

Which one has more advantages ?

Currently the bios is set to legacy mode.

 

Thanks for the tips.

UEFI is the "modern" BIOS and is supposed to be more secure.

Legacy is old, it's a legacy.

The one that works is best.

I suggest you not mess with it unless your are ready to deal with the consequences of changing it on a live system.
