Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a modern replacement for the traditional BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) found in computers. It acts as a bridge between the operating system and the computer’s hardware, managing the boot process and providing a standardized interface for both. UEFI offers several advantages over BIOS, including support for larger storage devices, faster boot times, and enhanced security features.
