- Description
- The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)contains information on how the boot process should be carried out. It accurately outlines the interface between the OS and the platform firmware. It replaces the previous Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware in the IBM PC. With UEFI, you don't have to install an OS for remote repairs and troubleshooting of computers.
- The SWM file format, or Split Windows Imaging Format File, is a type of disk image file used by Microsoft Windows for system deployment, backup, and recovery purposes. It is essentially a variation of the WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file, but with a key difference: it is split into multiple smaller files, rather than being a single large file. This splitting feature makes SWM files particularly useful for distributing a large system image across multiple storage media, such as DVDs or USB drives.
