Looks like the next version of Windows 10, dubbed  Creator Update – will include a Legacy BIOS to UEIF in-place migration tool.  This is very good news for enterprises out there, as it was a difficult hurdle to overcome.   

The Creators Update will also include a feature to help organizations that are replacing Windows 7 system images that use the legacy PC BIOS and MBR disk partition scheme with Windows 10 images that use UEFI firmware and the GPT disk partition scheme. This generally requires manual intervention to both repartition the disk and change the system firmware to use UEFI-style booting instead of BIOS-style booting. With the update, a conversion tool will be available to automate this process and manage it from System Center Configuration Manager.
