BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) are both types of firmware used to start a computer and control basic hardware operations. BIOS is an older firmware system that was designed to manage the hardware of IBM-compatible PCs, while UEFI is an updated version of BIOS that offers more features and better security. BIOS is typically stored in ROM (read-only memory), while UEFI is stored on flash memory. BIOS is a 16-bit system that uses MBR (Master Boot Record) for partitioning drives and loading the operating system, while UEFI is a 32-bit system that uses GPT (GUID Partition Table) for partitioning drives and loading the operating system. BIOS is a legacy system, while UEFI is the newer, preferred option.
