Good day. I have a Laptop with no OS installed. The laptop's model is Acer Aspire E5-471 without CD/DVD drive and going to install Windows 8.1 32bit. The laptops default mode is "UEFI" and I noticed that my USB DVD drive was not seen on bootable device, then when I change it to Legacy, it works fine. I already installed Windows 8.1 32bit but my TouchPad is not working. So I restarted my Laptop then change my mode into "UEFI" again then something pops up saying that no bootable device found. My questions are:
1) What is the difference between "UEFI" and "Legacy"?
2) How do you know what mode (UEFI or Legacy) I'am going to use when installing different types of windows OS, like win8 x64, win8 x32 something like that.. (Complete details please?).
3) Does USB ports, PS/2, VGA, etc has a compatibility with UEFI and/or Legacy?
Please explain to me in non-technical way, please? Thank you very much.
