So just to continue on my journey and share with the other noobs out there. I have (2) rigs. Each with (12) AMD rx570 8GB cards.
I took the advice and while still on Windows, backed up the current GPU BIOS and then continued to perform the one-step GPU bios mod. It was a lot easier than I had thought it would be. And feel better with the original BIOS on hand if needed.
I used:
GPUZ (to view/read the GPU and also to backup the original BIOS)
PolarisBiosEditor 1.7.5 to load the original BIOS and click the one-step patch. Save as the new modded BIOS.
Saved both to a USB stick.
Then with the high recommendation I moved off Windows and went with HiveOS. I have to say, I really do like the setup. Everything on one screen. And a lot easier to manage. It's even easier to flash the BIOS as I as able to upload the (2) versions of the BIOS, select all the cards and flash. Reboot and away I go. (of course with overclocking settings in place)
I was getting approx 21-22mhs per card. With this new setup I'm currently getting 30mhs - 31.5mhs
So thanks to those that helped. It's nice to get it back up where it was when I was running Claymore previously.

Just noticed something and have an email into HiveOS about this. Am I correct that under the free account I should be 'free' up to (5) workers/rigs?
I've been running off one rig/worker for a week and noticed that it was telling me it was free. But this morning i added the second rig/worker and it's now showing $0.04/day [a day left]
Just need a little help explaining that. I thought that with the (2) workers it would still be free.
and to top it all over, the rig/worker I just added seems to reboot [lolminer reboot] every handful of minutes

So HiveOS is great. Especially if you're looking to put all the rigs in an easy to access, single window and monitor and maintain. Unfortunately in my current environment I have some security problems accessing their HiveOS pool, so if I have more than (1) rig, I'll have to pay a little per day. But it's not a huge cost.

I reverted one rig back to Win10. So now I'm running one of each. Both have GPU modded BIOS. Both rigs run (12) cards. Both are running the same overclocked settings.
The Windows Rig runs a total of; reported = 377mhs & current = 387mhs
The HiveOS rig runs a total of; reported = 374mhs & current = 337mhs

I'm actually a little surprised. I had thought that the HiveOS/Linux OS would have helped it run a little faster, but it's actually not the case. Windows, with all it's issues, is actually running better.

I still have to go in and tweak a few settings as my stale shares rate is still under 1% but it seems to be going up the longer I leave it.

You can also use the Dual Mining of Lolminer and you will be able to have 4 Rigs in HiveOS for Free, because the coin is ZIL and you only pay if you have more than 1 ETH RIG... in this case you have a ZIL Rig mining also ETH...

You can download an easy manual on how to configure it... You will earn some extra too. Remember you will need a ZIL Wallet too (Binance, ZillPay, OKEX, ...)

I hope that will let you to have more than 1 rig FREE in HiveOS like other people do
