Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a specification for a software program that connects a computer’s firmware to its operating system (OS). UEFI is expected to eventually replace basic input/output system (BIOS) but is compatible with it.
What happens if I change UEFI firmware settings?
Warning: Changing the wrong firmware settings can prevent your computer from starting correctly. You should only access the motherboard firmware when you have an excellent reason.
Why would I change UEFI firmware settings?
The UEFI settings screen allows you to disable Secure Boot, a useful security feature that prevents malware from hijacking Windows or another installed operating system.
Should I enable UEFI in BIOS?
In general, install Windows using the newer UEFI mode, as it includes more security features than the legacy BIOS mode. If you’re booting from a network that only supports BIOS, you’ll need to boot to legacy BIOS mode. After Windows is installed, the device boots automatically using the same mode it was installed with.
What is UEFI firmware settings reset?
BIOS/UEFI Settings can be used to change the boot order, change keyboard control and troubleshoot problems on a computer.
