I already installed Windows 8 in normal mode. Can I still have it boot in UEFI mode without reinstalling or reformatting my SSD disk? It has that 350mb partition created by installer. Note: I still haven't flashed the BIOS of my nvidia card, EVGA emailed it to me.

If I'm not using the processor's built-in GPU, should I disable it? Does it generate heat? Do I have to install the latest GPU drivers for the motherboard just to be on the safe side? THanks.

greetings, I'm struggling to install windows 8 in UEFI mode on my asus p8z77-v lk motherboard. I updated the BIOS to the latest version, that is 0908. I have this USB stick that was created with that Windows 8 USB tool, it has the Windows 8 installer. I can't seem to boot into the USB stick...

The partition creation part isn't clear. When I first install Windows 8, do I have to create a special partition under Advanced Options? I'm concerned with SSD alignment.

What are the cons of using Secure Boot? For example, if I wish to install a Linux system on a spare partition, would Secure Boot allow another boot partition?

Will the asus p8z77-v like it?

^^^ The nvidia control panel is clear, it allows me to choose the second card for dedicated physx, even with two identical cards....

In a typical SLI setup, which card does Physx? In nvidia control panel you can choose a dedicated card for Physx.
