Umm.. Yes, you can in many cases. Generally speaking, UEFI capable
computers do offer 'legacy mode' Er, what you used to call the BIOS.

A lot of people may be confusing firmware type (BIOS, UEFI) with disk
structure (MBR, GPT).

As to another limitation, nearly all modern Intel-compatible CPUs allow
access to 64GB RAM in 32-bit mode. It's 32-bit Windows that REFUSES to
use more than about 3.5GB. I've heard of people fixing that, but it
isn't easy.

BTW, I have used 32-bit Linux on a system with 32GB RAM, and it
recognized it all.

IF I understand it, UEFI doesn't need to read the HDD boot sector,
where the BIOS does. I'll know more later :-)
