BIOS, stands for Basic Input/Output System or Basic Integrated Operating System. It refers to the software code run by a computer when first powered on. The primary function of BIOS is to prepare the machine so other software programs stored on various media can load, execute, and assume control of the computer. This process is known as booting up.
