minus-squaredata1701d (He/Him)@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·1 day agoUEFI first became common on new computers in 2011-2012, so I don’t a lot of 2014 computers were BIOS. I have a cheapo laptop from 2012 (one of last Gateways) and it’s a UEFI machine. At this point, I think 15 years ago is a more realistic estimate for the last legacy BIOS machines - my Win7 box with a 1st gen i5 is legacy BIOS.
