What is the function of the Secure Boot setting in UEFI firmware?
- it allows for support of up to 2.2 terabyte hard drives
- it enables only Windows 8 or Windows 10 to be used as an operating system
- it increases the boot upload speed
- it enables AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) mode
Explanation: UEFI will check the boot loader before launching it and ensure it is signed by Microsoft (only supported by Windows 8 ,10 and 11). If a rootkit or another piece of malware does replace your boot loader or tamper with it, UEFI won’t allow it to boot. This prevents malware from hijacking your boot process and concealing itself from your operating system.
