Hey guys! I know you're not supposed to update BIOS unless something isn't working correctly, but, my last visit to ASUS support recently I counted over 10 BIOS updates since the last time I updated back in 2019. Being this many updates, I figured chances are something would run better , so I updated to the latest version (2004) using a USB flash drive within BIOS. The update seemed to go fine but after restarting several times it gave me a message instructing to enter BIOS and resolve any issues. I don't remember if I had to do this back in 2019, but I found out I had to enable CSM in order for my M.2 SSD boot drive would be recognized and start up normal again. This is how I learned about MBR vs GPT formats. I have a combination of 2 M.2 drives and 2 regular SATA's all of which were formatted MBR. I'm guessing when I originally installed everything , GPT was new at the time and MBR was more compatible so that's what i chose for everything.
My question is, should I change to GPT now? I read online that its pretty simple to do and that it also speeds up boot time. I'm pretty sure this is what caused the hiccup.
