of set-up utility settings you can change and how to upgrade to a new universal

specifically used, such as on a graphical interface.

Set-up Utility Overview

The set-up utility is a hardware configuration program built into the computer’s
UEFI. The UEFI is already configured and optimized so there is no need to run
this utility. However, you can run the set-up utility to do the following:

Change the system configuration.
Change the UEFI setup when a configuration error is detected by the system.
Redefine communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
Read the current amount of system memory.
Change the boot drive order.
Set or change the password or make other changes to the security settings.
Upgrade the system firmware.
Run the diagnostic utility to determine the cause of system malfunction.
Restore or back up the operating system.
