   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.
