Why are there so many Windows boot brokers after bootmgfw.efi?
I became interested in the issue of loading the OS, namely Windows.
I read about the fact that there are MBR and GPT, their differences and other information
One of the sources www.mistyprojects.co.uk/documents/BCDEdit/files/gl... says that bootmgfw.efi (UEFI) and bootmgr.efi (BIOS) are both boot managers and bootloaders of the OS itself.
Boot Manager - a utility that allows multiple operating systems to be loaded. On Windows NT 6.* systems the Windows Boot Manager is bootmgr (BIOS) or bootmgfw.efi (UEFI). bootmgr and bootmgfw.efi function as both boot manager and boot loader (OS loader) .
Boot Loader - operating system specific boot loader, loaded by the Boot Manager - Windows NT 6.* boot loaders include winload.exe / winload.efi / winresume.exe / winresume.efi. The Windows NT 6.* boot managers (bootmgr and bootmgfw.efi) are, in addition to being boot managers, also boot loaders.
