Uefi Bios - MSI H410M PRO Handbuch

UEFI BIOS

MSI UEFI BIOS is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
architecture. UEFI has many new functions and advantages that traditional BIOS
cannot achieve, and it will completely replace BIOS in the future. The MSI UEFI
BIOS uses UEFI as the default boot mode to take full advantage of the new chipset's
capabilities. However, it still has a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) mode to be
compatible with older devices. That allows you to replace legacy devices with UEFI
compatible devices during the transition.

∙ Supports more than 4 primary partitions with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).
∙ Supports unlimited number of partitions.

ensure that no malware tampers with the startup process.
