    B. Update the UEFI firmware

    Explanation:

    UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a standard firmware interface for PCs. It is responsible for waking up the computer hardware components and ensure they are functioning properly.

    The old processor was controlled by an older version of the UEFI but to run the new processor, you update the Firmware Interface to enable it communicate with the computer's hardware components.
