I'm definitely not attached to keeping things the same. The bios

been a menu entry for it for a very long time; in fact maybe it was
only ever on netintall or dvd images? I can't remember that far back
memtest86+ doesn't support UEFI. It only has a menu entry if the
Legacy boot is used.
Also memtest86+ doesn't support modern Intel and AMD processors. It
will hang on start.
The memtest86+, included in the Fedora install media works. AMD Ryzen 9
5900X here, with 128 GB RAM. Unfortunately, it was recently removed from
the install media.
The memtest86+, installed on your computer in Legacy boot mode and then
added to the Grub boot menu, doesn't work and crashes on start on the
same computer.
That's why I install in UEFI mode, but keep my Fedora 33 install DVD+R
disk around and boot it in Legacy mode to run memtest86+ when I need it.
The fact that the OS is installed in UEFI mode doesn't matter.
