Press Win+R keys to start the Run dialog.The best way to detect the boot mode of Windows is to do the following : x86_64 Windows boot in x86_64 UEFI mode and 32-bit Windows boot in IA32 UEFI mode. Up to Windows 10, the firmware bitness matches the bitness of Windows, ie. ALL systems pre-installed with Windows 8/8.1, 10 and 11 boot in UEFI/GPT mode.

Very few late systems pre-installed with Windows 7 are known to boot in x86_64 UEFI/GPT mode by default.

They do not support x86_64 UEFI boot from GPT/MBR disk, x86_64 UEFI boot from MBR disk, or BIOS boot from GPT disk. Windows 8/8.1 and 10 x86 32-bit support booting in IA32 UEFI mode from GPT disk only, OR in BIOS mode from MBR disk only.A good example of this is Windows 11 which still works on a BIOS/MBR configuration once the Windows Setup check is bypassed. Note: The following points only list configurations supported by the Windows Setup even though Windows itself may still work on these unsupported configurations.
