Abstract
A method, information handling system (IHS) and a computer program product for updating a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) image in an IHS. The method includes retrieving a new UEFI image and a current UEFI image. First data type regions contained within the new UEFI image and second data type regions contained within the current UEFI image are identified. If a first data type region name from the new UEFI image matches a second data type region name from the current UEFI image and a first size of the first data type region is larger than or equal to a second size of the second data type region, data associated with the first data type region is copied to a modified new UEFI image.
