Uefi Bios; Bios Setup - MSI PRO B650-P WIFI User Manual

UEFI BIOS

MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) architecture. UEFI has many new functions and
advantages that traditional BIOS cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI BIOS uses UEFI as the
default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset's capabilities.
⚠
Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
∙ Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS selftest process.
And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST.
∙ Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions.
∙ Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward compatibility.
∙ Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
Incompatible UEFI cases
∙ 32-bit Windows operating system - this motherboard supports only Windows 10/ Windows 11 64-bit operating system.
∙ Older graphics card - the system will detect your graphics card. If you use older graphics cards, it may display a warning message There is
no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in this graphics card.
⚠
Important
We recommend that you replace it with a graphics card supporting GOP/UEFI or use CPU with integrated graphics for having normal function.
