Describe the differences between BIOS and UEFI firmware.
What will be an ideal response?
The older BIOS (basic input/output system) that contains system BIOS to manage essential devices (such as the keyboard, mouse, hard drive, and monitor) before the OS is launched, startup BIOS to start the computer, and BIOS setup to change the motherboard configuration or settings. Newer motherboards use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware that is more robust and secure than BIOS. Just as with BIOS, UEFI is responsible for managing essential devices before the OS is launched, starting the computer, and managing motherboard settings. UEFI can also assure that the boot is secure and no rogue operating system hijacks the system.
