The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is designed to replace the traditional BIOS firmware interface found in older computers. EFI provides a more flexible and modern approach to booting and managing hardware, allowing for faster boot times, improved security features, and support for larger hard drives.
