Perhaps Fred Smith can confirm this. Well, it's been a couple of years, but as best I recall, I had two brand-new 1TB drives, intending to use them as RAID-1, and the BIOS was (should have been, it said it was) in legacy mode. I thought it was pretty weird that Anaconda wouldn't let me proceed beyond partitioning/ fs creation without setting up the EFI partition. Somewhat more recently, I got a new system at work, containing Win10 (not a factory installation, but freshly installed by my employer 'cause they don't trust factory installation) and it already had UEFI in legacy mode by the time I got it. so when I installed C-7 on it, I had none of that garbage about requiring the EFI partition, it just sailed smoothly past it.
