UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the modern software that initializes and tests a computer's hardware during startup before the operating system loads. It replaces the older BIOS system, offering faster boot times, improved security, and greater flexibility. UEFI provides a user-friendly interface and supports larger storage devices, advanced networking, and secure boot features to protect against unauthorized software. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between the hardware and the software that powers your computer, ensuring everything is ready for your operating system to run efficiently.
