*Background*: Just for the record, I started using OpenSUSE with 10.3. I have been pleased and you folks who help are great.
I have avoided UEFI for as long as I can. My old computer died a sudden death and the time has come to deal with UEFI. Fortunately for me, almost 2 years ago I came across a Dell XPS 8940, with NVMe and SSD drives, high end graphics (I'm not a gamer, so that's not a big deal for me), and the usual other bells and whistles. The deal was good because it was a return, so it has sat. I did try to install OpenSUse (don't remember the version, but it did support UEFI) but that did not go well. I looked for docs on UEFI, but they seemed to be non-existent. Now that I am "in a corner" I want to go back and see if I can get Leap 15.4 installed on this computer. I downloaded the UEFI version and have it on a DVD, so I am ready. My goal is to boot and run OpenSuse from the NVMe drive and use the SSD drive as a data backup dirve--but I will listen to any other suggestions. *Main question: * When I tried the install the first time, I noticed that drive and partition designation (for a start) were completely different under UEFI. Is there "non-technical, human readable" documentation that can walk me through repartitioning, and the UEFI installation? It can be a SUSE document or a book. Now I need to understand what I am doing so I can have a working--full sized computer again--tired of this laptop. Thank you for any help, Mark
well, if your bios is able to switch off uefi, switch it of, i by only computer who are able to do. simoN -- www.becherer.de ----------------------------------------------- - Das ist die vorlaeufig endgueltige Version! - Herbert C.
