Seeing the following message in the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant: "Change this system boot mode for optimal performance with Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics."
Resolution
Either Windows 11* or Windows® 10 64-bit is required for Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics.
Confirm that the OS is using the GPT partition type:
- For Windows 11, this mode is configured by default.
- For Windows 10, if installed with an MBR partition type, the partition type can be converted.
It is possible to switch partition styles using Microsoft's MBR2GPT tool. Additionally, ensure in the system firmware (BIOS) settings that UEFI boot mode is enabled and Compatibility Support Module (CSM) has been disabled.
Contact Microsoft Support for additional information on how to upgrade or configure your OS.
