Advantages of UE8 mode startup in Win8 system

Advantages of UE8 mode startup in Win8 system:

1. UEFI provides larger disk capacity

Traditional MBR partition only It can support 2.2TB hard disk and 4 primary partitions. One of the UEFI specifications, GPT partition format, can support over 100 terabytes of hard disk and 100 primary partitions. It is especially useful for users who use Win7. On the other hand, with the efforts of manufacturers such as ASUS, Gigabyte and Seagate, 32-bit systems + traditional MBR partitions can also use more than 2TB hard drives in the form of "virtual disks", but of course it is not as good as UEFI+GPT. Native support saves effort and peace of mind.

2, UEFI provides higher performance

Traditional BIOS is customized for traditional 16-bit processors, low addressing performance, poor performance; UEFI can be applied to any 64-bit The processor has a lot of addressing capabilities and excellent performance —— It is said that it is faster to boot to Windows while loading more hardware.

3, 64-bit new system has advantages

Starting from Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2003, as long as the 64-bit system can provide UEFI boot support, and XP system, 32-bit new The system can only be booted through the UEFI compatible module.

4, more convenient batch installation

Motherboard equipped with UEFI can be installed through the network "broadcast", 1 image broadcast to multiple machines to install operating system, for enterprises It is especially convenient for users.

5, faster boot, hibernation recovery

The traditional BIOS uses Int 13 interrupt to read the disk, can only read 64KB at a time, very inefficient, and UEFI can read 1MB each time, Load faster. In addition, Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Win8, further optimizes UEFI support, which is said to enable instant boot.

6, safer boot

There have been rumors that Win8 uses UEFI to limit the survival of Linux and other systems. In essence, this design is to prevent users from running unauthorized code. For better security, users can choose to turn off this feature if they don't feel it is needed.

After understanding the six advantages of the UEFI mode startup of Win8 system, users should know why there are so many users who need to change to UEFI boot after installing Win8 system.
