My problem is I installed Windows 10 on the same partition settings as Windows 7 so the UEFI recovery partition was not installed properly. I referred to a guide basically telling me to delete all partitions on the drive, and create "new" partition settings during the installation process, now everything works.

next time to make life simpler don't use UEFI boot but regular BIOS boot

not you since youre already an expert on the above but for those that want to know the difference

I kept reading UEFI is better though, why is that?
Actually I have no idea about UEFI and BIOS when I first installed Win10, I just installed it like how I did for my Win7(format - install) and ended up with this problem.

better how better what?

how better? the trouble you went through better? wasted time and stressful better?

maybe some expert here can say how it is better but for me using windows since windows 3.1 I have no need for 'better' that I heard here and heard there - I find out and research for myself and understand matters and functions - I don't heard this or heard that to follow like a cow

but good luck anyway

Actually I was building a new PC with UEFI support so I wanted to make the most use out of it.

No troubles and stress at all, since I will only have to setup my Windows ONCE properly. I use UEFI because I know Win8/10 works best with it (in this case).

There are reasons they invented UEFI to replace BIOS in first place, you can google for the advantages if you're interested, otherwise, have fun with your ancient BIOS. smile.gif

of course youre right and searching you find a wiki that says

Advantages

The interface defined by the EFI specification includes data tables that contain platform information, and boot and runtime services that are available to the OS loader and OS. UEFI firmware provides several technical advantages over a traditional BIOS system:[12]
Ability to boot from large disks (over 2 TB) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT)[13][cool.gif
CPU-independent architecture[cool.gif
CPU-independent drivers[cool.gif
Flexible pre-OS environment, including network capability
Modular design


so you have a very large hard disk which is over 2TB to boot off huh? No wonder you need UEFI I see

wow you have a mobo and CPU that is very special hence you need the advantage of CPU independent arch
and your hardware drivers are unique and special too - awesome

you boot off the home network youre using your new custom built pc - amazing notworthy.gif

I salute your techno savvy advance-ness. Yes I'm sticking with good old BIOS boot bcos I stress easily

LOL, why do you have to nitpick impractical features of UEFI to make your point?
Like I said, I am happy with my UEFI setup, no one is stopping you to enjoy your BIOS though. smile.gif

nothing against UEFI or pro BIOS but wasn't this thread started bcos the root cause of the win10 non available Advance Startup option due to the use of UEFI being corrupted of sorts?
