Short for Basic Input/Output System, the BIOS (pronounced bye-oss) is a ROM chip found
on motherboards that lets you access and set up your computer system at the most basic
level.
A boot loader is a critical piece of software running on any system. Whenever a computing
system is initially powered on, the first piece of code to be loaded and run is the boot loader. It
provides an interface for the user to load an operating system and applications.
The BIOS Setup Utility allows you to configure system functions such as viewing the boot list,
and selecting Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Boot Mode or Legacy BIOS Boot
Mode.
