ABSTRACT:
A method of using BIOS information can include exporting first BIOS information from a first information handling system. The method can further include initiating a boot sequence for the second information handling system and importing second BIOS information into a second information handling system after initiating the boot sequence and before initiating an operating system, wherein the second BIOS information is associated with the first BIOS information. The method can further include initiating an operating system of the second information handling system after importing the second BIOS information. The first and second BIOS information may be the same, or the second BIOS information may be derived from the first BIOS information. The first and second information handling systems may be the same or different. In one embodiment, the first BIOS information can be translated into a text file for editing before using the second BIOS information during a boot sequence.
