Käynnistyskeino

Käynnistyskeino refers to the method or process by which a computer or electronic device initiates its operating system and begins operation. It encompasses various approaches to loading the system software, each with distinct characteristics and use cases. Common types include:

1. Traditional BIOS/UEFI boot from internal storage (e.g., hard disk drive or solid-state drive), where the system reads boot files from the primary storage device.

2. USB or external device boot, often used for installation, recovery, or testing purposes.

3. Network boot (PXE - Preboot Execution Environment), which allows devices to load an operating system over a network without local storage.

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) has largely replaced older BIOS systems, offering enhanced security and support for larger storage capacities. The choice of käynnistyskeino depends on system configuration, user needs, and hardware capabilities, ensuring compatibility with different boot media and environments.
