Aurora R4 Legacy Boot mode
hey all,
i'm trying to reformat my aurora r4 and i heard i need to boot in legacy mode to be able to use alien respawn. however, after pressing F2 under the boot tab .. it wont let me change the boot mode from UEFI to legacy. Any suggestions on how or how i can completely reformat my desktop?
thank you!

What OS did the Aurora-R4 ship with? You want to go back to that ... Win-7 or Win-8 ?
AlienRespawn is not supported on Windows-10. If you want to reload Windows-10, you can simply use the Reset Feature or clean-install from Microsoft.com Win-10 .ISO (burned to flash drive).Dell Rockstar

But you said you had already upgraded to Win-10, so take a look a Settings / Recovery / Reset.Dell Rockstar

I assume you are talking about a clean-install ... a complete Nuke-and-Pave.
Yes, I would because that is the only way you can get SecureBoot working. But if that is not a concern, then no ... you really don't need to. Win10-64bit will run in Legacy with SecureBoot off (but since it's UEFI capable, it should still BIOS-Post pretty fast).Dell Rockstar

Sounds like you will be doing a clean install after all.
Better to start with a completely blank disk.
Fan are at likely at 100% because MIO-Board lost it's last on-board program. Nothing to worry about at this point.

If you plan to give away or recycle this PC, try resetting it again." and a button that says "Got it" but neither my keyboard or mouse work to click the button. So i had to shutdown the desktop by holding the power button. Now im back to that same screen and the fans sound like theyre working at maximum
Have you created the Windows-10 (64bit) Flash Drive yet?
