    Basic input-output system, pretty much in a nutshell its the basic software installed on your motherboard to allow you to install an operating system and manage hardware. ( windows etc)

    the windows loading screen is part of the Windows operating system , Bios shadowed just means it hides all the technical information about the system starting up. Do you get to the windows loading screen?
