Hello.

 

I have a S3-391-6497 which came with Windows 7.

Currently it has BIOS 1.29.

 

If I upgrade it to UEFI 2.17, would it enable Windows 8 Fast Boot feature?

(I'm aware that it needs GPT partitions and maybe other technical adjustments)

 

Thanks.

    no, you can't.

    you can't mix BIOS versions, so:

     

    BIOS 1.x can be updated only with 1.x updates

    BIOS 2.x can be updated only with 2.x updates
