Unusual boot options in BIOS? (UEFI: PXE IP4 Realtek PCIE GBE Family Controller)

[AstroBenny]

Noticed these two options in the BIOS in my boot order that I've never seen before? What are they for out of curiosity?

Network booting, basically. Used a lot in things like schools and data centers because it's super handy in those applications.

PXE booting is when your machine boots from an image provided to it from a server, this is sometimes used in computer labs at schools or businesses so that the Sys Admin can manage files and updates all at once and ensure that every machine has a good copy of it's software.

One more thing, what is the UEFi boot drive and how does it differ from the hard drive priority above? https://imgur.com/a/GQUeh
