Upgrading from LMDE4 to LMDE5 - UEFI v Legacy setup

Post by br1anstorm »

I see from the blog that the upgrade "tool" has now (8 May) been announced as ready for general use.

This may be an irrelevant question - but when carrying out the upgrade using this tool, does it make any difference whether the installation is on a Legacy (MBR) setup, or a UEFI system?

I ask because I have LMDE4 in a dual-boot setup with Windows 10 on a somewhat older laptop which is configured with legacy (MBR) partitions. I just thought it wise to ask before launching the upgrade to LMDE5.
