- Description
- The SCAP file format (.scap) is associated with EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface), which is a specification designed to replace the older BIOS firmware interface used by most computers. The EFI firmware is responsible for booting up the system, and it provides a more modern, flexible, and secure way of managing the boot process compared to traditional BIOS. An SCAP file is essentially an EFI Firmware File that contains firmware update information or data intended for the EFI environment.
- A file with the ESD file extension is a file downloaded using Microsoft's Electronic Software Download application, so the file itself is called a Windows Electronic Software Download file. It stores an encrypted Windows Imaging Format (.WIM) file.
