What is the difference between UEFI and Legacy BIOS?
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) vs. BIOS (Basic Input-Output System):
UEFI:
Modern Solution: UEFI is a more modern replacement for BIOS.
Larger Hard Drive Support: UEFI supports larger hard drives (over 2.2 TB).
Faster Boot Times: UEFI provides quicker boot times compared to BIOS.
User Interface: UEFI offers a graphical interface with mouse support.
Secure Boot: UEFI includes features like Secure Boot to enhance security.
Networking Capabilities: UEFI supports network features.
GUID Partition Table (GPT): UEFI uses GPT for partitioning.

BIOS:
Legacy System: BIOS is an older system that has been around since the 1980s.
16-Bit Mode: BIOS runs in 16-bit mode and has limitations.
MBR Partitioning: BIOS uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) for partitioning.
Hardware Initialization: BIOS wakes up hardware components during boot.
Slower Boot Times: BIOS boot times are slower compared to UEFI.
Limited Hard Drive Size: BIOS cannot boot from drives larger than 2.1 TB due to MBR limitations.

UEFI as a Replacement:
UEFI gradually replaced traditional BIOS on computers, offering enhanced features and flexibility.
