You can use the Boot Settings screen to set the boot mode to either UEFI or BIOS. You can also specify the boot order. The
Boot Settings support only UEFI mode.
UEFI: The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a new interface between operating systems and platform firmware.
The interface consists of data tables with platform-related information, boot, and runtime service calls that are available to the
operating system and its loader.
The following benefits are available when the Boot Mode is set to UEFI:
● Support for drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
● Enhanced security (for example, UEFI Secure Boot).
● Faster boot time
Use UEFI boot mode only to boot from NVMe drives.
BIOS: The BIOS boot mode is the legacy boot mode that is maintained for backward compatibility.
