The only thing i want to know is how did we get from the Legacy bios to UEFI now. Like what was the process? When was it implemented? Did Intel force it since it has the ATX standard that everyone uses? Who was the first company (Asus, MSI, GB, etc..) to use it in thier MBs? And so on. Like how did the change go? What were the event timelines?

EFI was before UEFI in Itanium computers in 1990. This was to address the 16-bit liminations. This is why some BIOS have references to EFI. EFI was given to UEFI forum by Intel in 2005 to be added to UEFI. After that it started being added to computers.

Brilliant detailed video. Can I ask for some advice please? I work in a factory and one of our machines has a pc that the CMOS battery failed. Before it failed, when the machine was turned on, the pc turned on too. Now, since I changed the battery, we have to manually turn on the pc. It remembers the time and date now, but just does not turn on automatically. Could you point me in the direction of which setting in the BIOS this option may be under?

Yes, many BIOS or UEFI firmware interfaces provide a setting that allows the computer to automatically power on when AC power is applied (or restored after a power outage). This is particularly useful for servers and kiosks that need to resume operation automatically after power disruptions. This setting can go by various names, depending on the motherboard manufacturer: AC Power Recovery Power On After Power Fail Restore on AC Power Loss After AC Power Loss (with options like Always On, Always Off, Last State) To enable this: Boot into your system's BIOS/UEFI firmware settings (typically by pressing a key like Del, F2, F10, or Esc during the computer's startup). Navigate to the Power or Advanced tab or section. Look for one of the settings mentioned above and set it to the desired behavior (e.g., "Always On"). Save and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Make sure to consult your motherboard or computer's manual or online documentation, as the exact steps and terminology can vary between models and manufacturers.

@@itfreetraining Thanks for the help! I will look for those settings in the morning. I was hesitant to go stabbing around in the dark, I have something I'm looking for now. Much appreciated.

@@itfreetraining Thanks for the advice, I found the Power on after power fail setting exactly how you described, worked perfectly, back up and running. Thankyou.

My SSD Win10 stopped starting after swapping HDD and back while on standby mode. Nothing fixed it. bootrec and after formatting with diskpart windows refused to install. All I had to do was to convert MBR to GPT.

[@itfreetraining]

Glad to hear that you fixed the problem. Guessing that converting MBR to GPT rewrote what was causing the problem.

Excellent enumeration

Thanks for watching.

Nice ONE!

[@itfreetraining]

Thank you! Cheers!

Five times faster then the mb ? wtf

[@itfreetraining]

We cover this in some of the other videos, but due to caching, out of order instructions execution and some other technology the MB does not have to be as far as the CPU.

Xyed Shy-Lau than*

[@fixzyyy]

no need to make the video 30 mins💀

[@itfreetraining]

We cover a lot in this video, but considering dividing it into two videos, one the simple options and another the more advanced options.
