 Please add a prominent warning advising users to be consistent in their
 usage of UEFI or CSM (BIOS) style installation when booting multiple
 operating systems.  Whether by misconception, firmware quirks, poor media
 creation tools, or accident, users have been consistently reporting issues
 with booting their Windows installations after installing Fedora.  I have
 observed that a significant number of these issues relate to the user
 "disabling UEFI" to install Fedora, then discovering that their UEFI
 installation of Windows no longer boots.  Browse through
 ask.fedoraproject.org for Windows related questions, and you'll see how
 prevalent these issues are.

 There is documentation under development to further explain the issues
 involved, but it would be hugely beneficial to have a simple warning to be
 consistent displayed when the Fedora image is downloaded.  Maybe in
 download-splash?
