Nop, it's a win10 pro install from 2015 that might have been reset once or twice. Well now it's converted to gpt at least, was less a big deal than i anticipated with the proper tool.

it is the norm when a person puts a new nvme in a new system and the mainboard defaults result in a MBR on the NVME.

You typically expect the auto csm setting to default to UEFI, but this isn't the case when the nvme you're using has a legacy boot rom that enables MBR bootability, its caught numerous folks out.
