The thing is... I think a lot of people don't know that they have uefi support...

I have had the same windows install and motherboard (AMD is so great with long term socket support) for years, and figuring out how to change my bios and os setting so that I got a propper uefi boot was non-trivial.

Uefi has been a thing for a long time, but it's not been the default for motherboards afaik. So you have had to go into bios and find the right settings.
