BIOS settings

To start, set BIOS to Windows 8 defaults. Then insure:

  • UEFI boot is enabled

  • secure boot is disabled

  • enable Legacy Boot (but UEFI first) and you may experience less boot time glitches

Note: The DSDT/SSDT patching script will automatically disable the discrete Nvidia card if you have it enabled in BIOS. It is best, therefore to keep it enabled in BIOS so you can still use it on Windows, but have DSDT/SSDT patched properly for OS X.
