Coreboot ASUS Z370-A II into Google gave me the web page. UEFI turned off? You may find problems with some software, especially graphics cards which assume UEFI, in the future. For any new installations I would suggest turning UEFI on - legacy BIOS will not always be supported and support is deprecated by most vendors.
