Hi. You're asking about whether your laptop uses BIOS or UEFI. Your machine is around nine years old, and the BIOS option under boot settings shows UEFI enabled, but Windows lists it as legacy mode. Some people say UEFI offers better graphics and mouse support, but yours just shows gray and blue text with no mouse input. The BIOS version is American Megatrends Inc. K53SD.205, dated March 6, 2021. If that helps, here are your questions: 1) Are you sure you have BIOS or UEFI? 2) Can I get a GPT-styled HDDS?
