Please add a prominent warning advising users to be consistent in their
usage of UEFI or CSM (BIOS) style installation when booting multiple
operating systems. Whether by misconception, firmware quirks, poor media
creation tools, or accident, users have been consistently reporting issues
with booting their Windows installations after installing Fedora. I have
observed that a significant number of these issues relate to the user
"disabling UEFI" to install Fedora, then discovering that their UEFI
installation of Windows no longer boots. Browse through
ask.fedoraproject.org for Windows related questions, and you'll see how
prevalent these issues are.
There is documentation under development to further explain the issues
involved, but it would be hugely beneficial to have a simple warning to be
consistent displayed when the Fedora image is downloaded. Maybe in
download-splash?
