'''UEFI''' was introduced with Windows 8 as a replacement / upgrade to the BIOS system. One example of this upgrade is that it allows for computers to use hard-disks larger than 2 Terrabytes (2,000 Gigabytes). Unfortunately, UEFI was also secretly manipulated by Microsoft in tandem with certain hardware manufacturers to prevent - or at least make it very difficult - to remove and replace Windows 8 with another operating system. | '''UEFI''' was introduced with Windows 8 as a replacement / upgrade to the BIOS system.
