(would need to rewrite all device drivers).               I have a x64 MBR FAT12 UEFI disk image at pdos.org and it       works fine on all the modern PCs I have tested it on.              I buy really cheap laptops though. Somewhere around US$200.              Some of the laptops are Chromebooks with Tianocore loaded.              Some are Windows laptops, but of course Windows is being       bypassed. All the Windows laptops are running American       Megatrends, which incidentally I couldn't get to do a legacy       boot, even though CSM or similar was shown in the BIOS.              BFN.
