UEFI BIOS
UEFI BIOS
MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. The UEFI BIOS firmware infrastructure has many new functions and
advantages that traditional BIOS cannot achieve. It will fully support future PCs and
devices that comply with UEFI firmware architecture.
⚠
Important
The term BIOS in this user guide refers to UEFI BIOS unless otherwise noted.
UEFI advantages
∙ Fast booting - UEFI can directly boot the operating system and save the BIOS self-
test process. And also eliminates the time to switch to CSM mode during POST
∙ Supports for hard drive partitions larger than 2 TB.
∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions
∙ Supports full capabilities of new devices - new devices may not provide backward
compatibility.
∙ Supports secure startup - UEFI can check the validity of the operating system to
ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
Incompatible UEFI cases
∙ 32-bit Windows operating system - this motherboard supports only 64-bit Windows
10 operating system.
∙ Older graphics card - the system will detect your graphics card. When display a
warning message There is no GOP (Graphics Output protocol) support detected in
this graphics card.
⚠
Important
We recommend that you to replace with a GOP/UEFI compatible graphics card or
using integrated graphics from CPU for having normal function..
