  Are you sure that your desktop doesn't have UEFI? UEFI started in 2005
and by 2007 already had its third spec (version 2.0). UEFI can be quite
'invisible if you don't know it's there and don't know how to enter it.

  An easy way to tell one or the other is just try the recipe you
posted:

  If where it says 'Navigate to Troubleshoot' you get a screen labeled
'Choose an option' which includes the mentioned 'Troubleshoot' option,
you *do* have UEFI.

  Alternatively, you can use Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk
Management. If that lists an 'EFI' partition, you have UEFI.

  Even simpler if you have Macrium Reflect, that will say '[EUFI]' on
the top bar.
