Among these are cryptography, network authentication, support for extensions stored on non-volatile media, an integrated boot manager, and even a shell environment for running other EFI applications such as diagnostic utilities or flash updates. UEFI has room for more useful and usable features than could ever be crammed into the BIOS. UEFI enables better use of bigger hard drives.GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.You can have upto 128 partitions (woot!) in GPT (as opposed ONLY 4 primary partitions in MBR/Hybrid MBR partition scheme). GPT can support more than 2TB space (MBR cannot).You may face all sorts of weird boot/BCD errors Depending on BIOS, sometimes Clover doesn't play well in Non-UEFI.You can have multiple Recovery Partitions in GPT.Isn't that amazing? This tutorial covers installation of both Yosemite and Windows 8. You have a machine with Legacy BIOS and at the end of tutorial, you would have Yosemite OS X and Windows 8.1, in UEFI mode, on a GPT partition with Clover as Bootloader. Technically this tutorial should work for Windows 7 and Mavericks also, but I haven't tried. In this tutorial I am going to explain how to install Windows 8 on a Legacy BIOS in UEFI mode (Yes! It's possible!!) using Clover and dual boot with Yosemite. Install Windows 8 UEFI on Legacy BIOS with Clover (and Dual boot with Yosemite)
