Is UEFI nessisary for ReactOS? Otherwise lets support it.
MOD EDIT: Removing the whole thread sounds bad at this thread size, so... removed the SPAM.
Previous post was about secureboot needed or not and if ROS works on UEFI ONLY devices already or not

No. Secure boot isn't needed to run.

Even more, ReactOS may not work on UEFI devices.

Depends on how reactos is feeling that day. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

It is not required on all PCs, but if that is the only option on the board, then we'd need to support UEFI, and the devs have been working on that. As for secure boot, we don't need that, so long as the motherboard allows you to run OSs that don't require it.

Is UEFI necessary for ReactOS? No.
This question could have been answered by using the ReactOS Forum's search feature (located on the upper right hand corner of forum web pages). I searched using the string "UEFI" and among the results returned was this:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16967&p=129954&hilit=UEFI#p129954.

It depends on device and luck.

Re: Is UEFI nessisary for ReactOS? Otherwise lets support it.
The system would have be a 32bit UEFI and secureboot would have to be disabled if that criteria is met maybe it would boot.
Re: Is UEFI nessisary for ReactOS? Otherwise lets support it.
Well, could they use Legacy Mode for that?

For existing systems sure but Intel has stated they are going to be doing away with Legacy CSM by 2020. Now i don't know if OEM's will have to follow Intel's lead or if they will continue offering Legacy CSM on Intel based motherboards.
Re: Is UEFI nessisary for ReactOS? Otherwise lets support it.
but 32-bit devices will end up disappearing, end of Reactos?

Uh oh. Never suggest any schedule for anything. As Microsoft's Raymond Chen once wrote in his blog, The Old New Thing,Zombiedeth wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 12:28 am...should be possible to get that up in running in 2 years time.
"(O)nce you begin to speculate about a ship date... (a)ll anybody cares about any more is how far behind schedule you are."
There is a UEFI page in the ReactOS Wiki. Unfortunately, it was last updated in 2014.
