There is some other changes that i noticed:
There is a "Secure Boot" tab in BIOS, where you can turn on and edit "Secure Boot" for Windows 8 and other OS's.
There is now a "Legacy Boot" option below "UEFI Boot" that you can use to turn on/off traditional BIOS emulation. But.....
WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF / UNTICK THE LEGACY BOOT OPTION.
I unticked "Legacy Boot" and ticked only "UEFI Boot" but my PC did not want to boot.
There was no video on screen and i heard 2 beeps followed by a pause and then another 2 beeps, which means video card error.
I had to hold down power button for 3 seconds and release it, so i could get back into BIOS settings.
When i turned on "Legacy Boot" again, it worked fine.
Reset BIOS to defaults before upgrading.
