It then passes control to the operating system or other boot loader. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is going to be taking the place of BIOS. The following article describes these two technologies and provides some history.
长期以来，BIOS一直是您PC的一部分。 您可能听说过它，但是您可能不知道它是什么或它做什么。 它是内置在PC主板上的低级软件，可在启动计算机时使计算机中的硬件正常运行。 然后，它将控制权传递给操作系统或其他引导加载程序。 统一可扩展固件接口(UEFI)将取代BIOS。 下面的文章描述了这两种技术并提供了一些历史。
