Hi Israel,

Most UEFI systems have a BIOS emulating mode, often called CSM. 32-bit
operating systems can run in that mode, but if Windows is installed in
UEFI mode, you have to toggle between UEFI and CSM when you want to
switch between Windows and the 32-bit operating system, and it is not
convenient.

I don't think you should worry about 64-bits and UEFI for the current
version of ToriOS. Leave that to the second or third version.

Best regards
Nio
