UEFI Explained: Windows 10/11 and UEFI

Moving from BIOS to the new UEFI is a major technical transition for motherboards. Think of UEFI as a small operating system. We will explore how Windows 10 changes to incorporate UEFI into the operating system boot structure. Why GPT is critical to UEFI and how Microsoft provides the utility to upgrade your disks for UEFI. What is the difference between UEFI and UEFI and CSM enabled? We will look at partitions and how they change moving from CSM to UEFI native mode.

Hello from the UK and thank you for all the hard work making these video. I’ve been working as a support tech at various levels for 10 years and find them very informative and a good refresh lesson

[themevrouwdewi]

This is an amazing video! I'm currently studying for my compTIA A+ certification and I always end a chapter with looking up videos for additional/repeat information. I'll check out your other videos as well.

Everytime when i watch your lectures i find new thing. Sir, you did a great job . Your lecturs are more practical stuff which help to understand the theory behind the OS.

I'm having problem to install Win10 on my new Dell Optiplex 3070 DOS and have no clue how to solve it. learnt a lot about UEFI from here and it helps me to understand the basic concept of BIOS boot vs native UEFI boot. Finally I manage to get my new pc with Win10 installed. Thank you very much.

I have a Windows 10 installation (BIOS) without a separate system partition and tried to convert it via mbr2gpt.exe but it didn't work. So I ended up again at your channel.
Hopefully I can solve the problem and then post a detailed solution for other people here.
Thanks for your great videos!

[technobrend]

Lowell your videos are absolutely fantastic.

[freeandhappy]

Thank you Sir! We appreciate you explaining these advanced IT subjects. Please keep them coming!

[brendanfay]

Thank you. This has been really helpful to someone who only learned, debugged and did forensics on BIOS/MBR/VBR etc and is new to UEFI.

[Kidney_Thief]

This was very helpful. I'm going to use what I learned tomorrow. I installed Windows 10 without checking the BIOS settings

[baconsledge]

Best explanation and all you need to get a grasp of UEFI. Well done!

[bsfatboy]

lol, you were probably recording late at night and didn’t want to disturb anyone when you recording that one part. So ASMR

[Velo]
