• UEFI supports drives larger than 2.2 terabytes

• UEFI is compatible only with 32-bit systems

• UEFI requires no updates

How does UEFI improve security compared to BIOS?

• By encrypting all data on the hard drive

• By providing better protection against bootkits

• By requiring a password for every boot

• By disabling all external devices

What is the process of updating the UEFI called?

• Formatting

• Flashing

• Rebooting

• Defragmenting

Why is it important to check for UEFI updates from the manufacturer?

• To increase the size of the hard drive

What is a significant limitation of BIOS that UEFI addresses?

• BIOS cannot run on laptops

• BIOS does not support graphical interfaces

• BIOS has address limitations

• BIOS cannot connect to the internet

How does UEFI contribute to faster startup times compared to BIOS?

• By skipping hardware checks

• By optimizing the boot process

• By loading the operating system from the cloud

• By using a smaller ROM chip

What is the role of UEFI in software interoperability?
