UEFI modules and drivers can be loaded in parallel, reducing boot time. Updated and larger Option ROMs can be used to initialize expansion devices.

GUID Partition Table (GPT): Replaces the obsolete Master Boot Record (MBR) partition scheme, allowing for larger storage media and improved data integrity.

Consistent Variables and Services: A standardized set of variables, services, and drivers are common to all UEFI implementations, simplifying device management.

Firmware modules can be added, removed, or updated by vendors and device owners, extending the capabilities of a device’s firmware.

UEFI is more complex than BIOS, which can make it harder to understand and manage for some users.

Some older systems may not support UEFI, requiring Compatibility Support Module (CSM) to run in legacy mode, which can limit the full benefits of UEFI.

Upgrading to UEFI may require new hardware or firmware updates, which can be costly and time-consuming.
