The difference between UEFI boot USB flash drive and installed version

UEFI is specifically for machines that UEFI starts. If your motherboard doesn't have UEFI or if UEFI is turned off, you won't be able to boot with the UEFI version.

Exempt from USB flash drive boot settings: For many computer novices, it is undoubtedly a very distressing thing for BIOS to set up USB flash drive boot, worrying that the system will not boot normally due to accidentally setting the BIOS incorrectly. However, as long as our motherboard supports UEFI boot, it is relatively much simpler, UEFI is an upgraded version of the traditional BIOS, with a graphical interface, the operation is more concise, most UEFI can choose the U disk as the priority boot or even directly choose the U disk to boot.

You can directly enter the menu startup interface: this can be regarded as a sharp contrast between the UEFI version and the installed version, under normal circumstances, the ordinary installed version will be set to the U disk after the U disk starts, if the U disk is pulled out, it will not be able to start the system normally, and UEFI is different, after the U disk is set as the first startup item, in the case of not inserting the U disk, UEFI will get the next startup item into the system, eliminating the trouble of frequently changing the startup item. When you need to enter PE, you only need to insert the USB flash drive boot disk into the computer to directly enter the menu boot interface.

Quick and easy access to PE: The UEFI initialization module and the driver execution environment are usually integrated in a read-only memory, which can be easily solved even if there are many new devices, which greatly accelerates the pre-installation capacity of new devices, so that the PE can be entered more quickly.

U disk boot disk refers to the installation of the PE version of the operating system in the U disk, the system is set to start from the U disk, and then the computer is turned on and the system is reinstalled from the U disk.

UEFI, which stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", is a standard that describes type interfaces in detail. This interface is used for the operating system to automatically load from the pre-boot operating environment to an operating system. If this option is selected in the BIOS, the computer will boot directly from the hard disk instead of the USB flash drive or CD-ROM drive after booting up.

U disk boot disk UEFI version can be made by Xiaobai one-click reinstall system tool,Specific tutorials can be found on the official website of Xiaobai system。

Many people will use the U disk boot disk to install and maintain the system, regardless of whether the computer has a system or not, you can boot through the U disk boot disk, so as to perform system installation or reinstallation, which is very convenient, but the U disk boot disk is divided into the installed version and the UEFI version, many people are entangled before making the U disk boot disk, so what is the difference between the UEFI version and the installed version of the U disk boot disk maker? Which is better, the Chinese cabbage uefi version or the installed version? Let's take a look at the lead below.

1. Introduction to the production tool of the U disk boot disk of the installed version

U disk boot disk installed version is win8pex86 version, that is, 32-bit version, most of the computer motherboards produced before 2012 do not support UEFI, these models can be directly booted through the installed version of the U disk boot disk, after 2012, many computers used UEFI motherboards, these models need to disable the argument UEFI to start through the U disk boot disk.

Main features: 1. The installed version of the production tool is small in size and occupies a small space in the U disk.

2. Powerful and stable, support most motherboards.

2. Introduction to the UEFI version of the U disk boot disk maker

U disk boot disk UEFI version is Win8PEX64 version, that is, 64-bit version, not only supports motherboards before 2012, but also supports most of the new UEFI motherboards after 2012 to boot directly from the UEFI disk, it should be noted that not all new motherboards can be booted directly from UEFI boot disk, and some still need to change BIOS settings.

Main features: 1. Support booting Apple Mac computer.

2. Support most of the new UEFI motherboards to boot directly from the U disk.

3. Which is better, the Chinese cabbage uefi version or the installed version?

1. Both have their own advantages, choose which one is better to choose according to personal circumstances, the volume of the UEFI version is larger than the installed version, and it needs to be selected according to the size of the U disk and the size of the system.

2. If you are an old motherboard and do not support UEFI, then choose the installed version, if it is a new UEFI motherboard, choose the UEFI version.

3. If you install the system under Legacy+MBR, select the installed version, and if you install the system under UEFI+GPT, select the UEFI version.

The above is the difference between the UEFI version of the boot disk and the installed version, generally the old motherboard chooses the installed version, and the new motherboard after 2012 chooses the UEFI version.

Advantages of UEFI startup over installed version.

1. Stronger security

UEFI boot requires an independent partition to isolate the system boot file from the operating system itself, which can better protect the system boot. Even if the system boots up wrong and needs to be reconfigured, the boot partition can be simply reconfigured. And, for Win8 systems, leveraging UEFI Secure Boot and the creation of a source of trust between the certificate stored in the firmware and the platform firmware ensures that signed and certified "known security" and boot loaders can be executed before the operating system is loaded, preventing users from executing malicious in the root path.

2. The startup configuration is more flexible

EFI boot is similar to GRUB boot, you can call EFishell at startup, where you can load the specified hardware driver and select the boot file. For example, if the default boot fails, the boot file on the USB flash drive on the EFISHELL load continues to boot the system.

3. Larger support capacity:

Due to the limitations of the MBR, the traditional BIOS boot cannot boot more than the above hard disk by default. With the continuous decline of hard disks, the above hard disks will gradually become popular, so UEFI boot is also the mainstream boot method in the future.

PE is only available in the MBR version and UEFI version, and only one or two of them are used in the installed version.

The difference between the installed version of the U disk production software and UEFI is that the boot is different, UEFI needs to be supported by the motherboard, the early motherboard does not have this function, this UEFI and the normal boot tool, the same can be started, but there is more UEFI boot; The UEFI version is 64-bit Win8PE, which supports UEFI startup on the actual machine, and the maintenance version is 32-bit Win8PE, which supports UEFI startup test of virtual machines.

UEFI version advantages:

1.The USB flash drive boot setting is exempted.

2.You can directly enter the menu launch screen.

3.Entering PE is quick and easy.

Advantages of the installation version of U disk production software:

1.Start stable access to the menu;

2.Occupies little space;

3.Powerful and reliable, supporting more motherboards;

In summary, if the machine is the motherboard in the second half of 2012 and is the motherboard of UEFI, use the UEFI version to do the U disk, if the requirements are not too high, it is recommended to make a U disk to escort the installation.

1. For the installed version, the scope of application of the installed version to make a U disk boot disk is more suitable for old models or old motherboards, and the premise of using the installed version of the U disk boot disk into PE is to set the boot item. However, the installed version also brings a lot of advantages, it starts relatively stable, takes up less space, is powerful and reliable, and supports more motherboard types.

2. It is also very simple to use the UEFI version to make a USB flash drive boot disk, and the U disk boot disk made is suitable for newer machines and motherboards, and there must be UEFI as the motherboard for the USB flash drive to start first. Using the UEFI version of the U disk boot disk maker eliminates the U disk boot setting, and you can directly enter the menu boot interface, which is more convenient to enter PE.

Many of today's computers use the UEFI boot system, which used BIOS earlier, and UEFI can speed up the boot speed, UEFI and traditional BIOS boot compared to UEFI boot, UEFI boot has one less BIOS self-test process, so the boot will be faster. I believe that everyone is now very clear about the difference between the installed version and the UEFI version, I hope the above tutorial can help you.

Advantages of UEFI version of making a USB flash drive:

1.The USB flash drive boot setting is exempted.

2.You can directly enter the menu launch screen.

3.Entering PE is quick and easy.

The above are the advantages of UEFI!

Advantages of using the installed version to make a boot disk:

1.Start stable access to the menu;

2.Occupies little space;

3.Powerful and reliable, supporting more motherboards;

The installed version is used to install win7 and other clone systems. UEFI version is used to install and repair Microsoft original and win10 systems.

The main differences are shown in the figure below

Win10 installation, the difference between the installation version and the UEFI version is as follows:

1. The installed version is the most common way, which needs to be started by BIOS to set the U disk to enter the PE, which is suitable for old machines before 2012; UEFI version is a new generation of BIOS, graphical interface, you can click with a mouse, there is an EFI boot in this BIOS, this function is turned on, and the boot speed of the installed computer is greatly accelerated.

2. Advantages of UEFI version:

1.The USB flash drive boot setting is exempted.

2.You can directly enter the menu launch screen.

3.Entering PE is quick and easy.

3. Advantages of the installed version:

1.Start stable access to the menu;

2.Occupies little space;

3.Powerful and reliable, supporting more motherboards;

4. How to enter UEFI:

1. If the motherboard is set to UEFI boot priority, the boot computer will directly enter the PE that supports UEFI.

2. Select U disk with the word UEFI in the BIOS boot menu.
