Even if it looks like > the BIOS, croaks like the BIOS, walks like the BIOS, it is no longer > BIOS, it is part of the UEFI. [You probably hadn't read my "Correction:" with my further clarification.] As I said in the part you snipped, the (firmware of the) *computer* (in this case an HP Pavilion 15-eh2560nd laptop) *says* "BIOS" in the relevant menus. And, to add insult to injury, when the firmware was (forcefully) updated, the screen said: "(hp) HP BIOS Update The System BIOS is being updated. The update will take a few minutes to complete. Do not shut down your computer during the process. [In red.] Writing new BIOS image Block NNN / 256 Progress: NN% [blue on light-grey progress bar]" So just on this one screen, it said "BIOS" three times. Also the support page says "BIOS-System Firmware" and only talks about "BIOS" and doesn't even mention UEFI. <https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-pavilion-15-laptop-pc-15-eh2000/model/2101006263?sku=693B1EA> Probably the term "BIOS" is used, because that's a known term, much more known than "UEFI". And if we want to be pedantic, even the term "BIOS" was/is wrong, because it's much more than the Basic Input Output System part. So, let's put all silly semantics aside and let's settle on 'the BIOS part of the UEFI'. Agreed? [Paul, what is your take on this?]
