== Switching from BIOS to UEFI ==
For UEFI install the Disk partition table should be of type '''GPT (Guid Partition Table).'''
1.) You would need to create an ''ESP (EFI System Partition)''.
Its basically a fat32 partition which has the .efi files for booting.
You can create the partition using Gparted.
You would also need to install/check whether following packages are present-
1. efibootmgr
2. dosfstools
3. grub
2.) Create the ''/boot/efi'' directory
sudo mkdir /boot/efi
3.) Mount the EFI partition as ''/boot/efi''
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /boot/efi
X = Alphabet of the drive = a,b,c ...
Y = Partition number of the EFI partition = 1,2,3,4...
Example - ''/dev/sda4''
4.) Install Grub according to UEFI
sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
5.) Update Grub configuration file.
sudo update-grub
