**If** the PXE client will use legacy-BIOS firmware *(MBR partition scheme)* instead of UEFI, toggle `uefi` to `false` in the Cobbler Distro autoinstallation metadata:

```shell

cobbler profile edit --name Win10-x86_64 --autoinstall-meta 'uefi'='false' --in-place

Finally, create a new Cobbler System to PXE boot and automatically install Windows 10 Pro, replacing the *"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"* with the MAC address of your PXE client, being sure not to use a duplicate MAC or IP addresse of any other Cobbler System, then sync up Cobbler.
