Have been running it since was released :)

Hello Remy
Here in my Thinkpad T14s worked fine too. It has UEFI enabled and even make it easy now to dual boot with Windows 11.
Remy, do you want to give it a try with us? Post your laptop/computer model in a new thread and let's see if we can help you.
Do you want to upgrade your existing 5.0.x? or a fresh install?
Just in case the manual says "In addition, it is not possible to upgrade from a traditional BIOS installation to a UEFI installation."
In that case you will need to backup everything and make a fresh install.
Regards

I already posted my desktop config in the past.
It is a desktop and upgrading my ArcaOS.
AOS installed on multivolume C: W: (JFS)
E: used as recovery partition (JFS)
all partitions where chkdsk and free of error.
(2 more logicals partitions, one NTFS shr with windows in RO mode and one FAT32 shr with windows in R/W)
Have to add disk exclude under AHCI to exclude M.2 onboard disk with win7 (this works well and in place since a long time)
I'm upgrading my ArcaOS operating system.
Start on DVD allowing config.sys update to exclude my M.2 onboard disk
The upgrade function is stopping with ERROR message after reboot following first step (well done)
I use legacy (traditional) bios for my boot drive, usb and cd (upgrading in legacy mode despite both mode exist)
The upgrade function worked well under 5.0.x
Strange.
Found a few error into logs:
Copying file: Z:\var\log\diskutil.log --> C:\var\log\DISKUTIL.LOG: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)
Copying file: Z:\var\log\ao_upgd.log --> C:\var\log\ao_upgd.log: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)
and
Copying file: Z:\DATBAS_Z.INI --> C:\sys\install\WARPIN\DATBAS_C.INI: FAILED (error SYS0003: The system cannot find the path specified.)

You should't believe everything you read. Months ago, I posted a package to convert from BIOS to UEFI. The process is trivial and fully license-compliant. If you need it, do a search of this forum.
Remy:
No UEFI conversion here.
UEFI not enabled for USB, nor CD and nor for ArcaOS HD
Just a migration/update like I did it under previous releases
