EFI

EFI, or Extensible Firmware Interface, is a modern system that helps your computer start up and get ready to run the operating system. Think of it as a bridge between the hardware (like the processor and memory) and the software (like Windows or macOS). EFI initializes hardware components, performs diagnostics, and then hands control over to the operating system. Unlike older BIOS systems, EFI supports larger drives, faster startup times, and more advanced features, making computers more flexible and reliable. It’s an essential part of modern computing infrastructure, ensuring smooth and secure system boots.
