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

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.
