You've set up a Windows 8.1 on a MBR-formatted RAID 0 setup using two 250GB Samsung drives on an Asus Z87-K motherboard. To change to UEFI without reinstalling, you can use tools like Rufus or EFI Tools to create a bootable USB and install Windows 10/11 via the UEFI setup. Alternatively, if you need a clean slate, you could format the drive with GPT using a tool such as GParted before rebuilding the system.
