BIOS Introduction
BIOS (UEFI firmware) is the firmware program on the computer board. It is the first piece of code that runs after power-on, used to wake up hardware, complete self-test, and boot the operating system. In other words, the BIOS is the "bridge" between hardware and the operating system.
