Detailed explanation-1: -A computer’s basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program that’s stored in nonvolatile memory such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash memory, making it firmware. The BIOS (sometimes called ROM BIOS) is always the first program that executes when a computer is powered up.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrically-erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM)-Often used in older computer chips and to control BIOS, EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed several times while enabling the erase and writing of only one location at a time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Short for Basic Input/Output System, the BIOS (pronounced bye-oss) is a ROM chip found on motherboards that lets you access and set up your computer system at the most basic level.
