As far as UEFI and BIOS, you can't switch between them. I have not set
the same machine up with 2 different drives, one UEFI and one BIOS
with Win 10, but I have with Win 7 - I didn't notice much if any
difference.

I'd like to know if you turn off fast boot on UEFI on Win10 is slower
to boot. I'm not concerned with Win7, BIOS doesn't have fast boot.

Elucidate for us.
I've never compared or tested so I cannot say. I would IMMAGINE
fast-boot would boot faster - - - However, you CAN run Win7 (64 bit
only - not 32) on UEFI - it is only required by Microsoft for OEMs on
8.0 and above (You cannot sell an OEM system without UEFI with Windows
8.0, 8.1, or 10)

To install Win7 64 on UEFI, you need to boot from UEFI CD/DVD.

Also, according to Tomshardware.com, fast-boot is basically a hybrid
hibernate mode, - and on a lot of desktop systems in particular, it is
buggy (my experience - not Tom's). I turn hibernate off as a matter of
course on all desktops, and on a lot of laptops as well - solves a lot
of lockup and reboot problems.
