Win 7 x64 OEM Home Prem & UEFI Installation
I purchased an AMD RX580 video card with the hopes of using my old gear for another year or two, but the RX580 requires a UEFI environment (which I thought I was using). BTW the RX580 works.

My mobo is an MSI-7681 v.2.01 P67A-GD53 B3 with AMI bios v.1.19 (March...
