UEFI handles the formatting of drives. To operate in UEFI mode, the old BIOS setup needs to be reformatted and partitioned. Many motherboards offer a hybrid option, letting you choose between different partition styles for multiple drives. If using only an old-style BIOS drive, you must remove its current data and repartition it using a UEFI method, since older BIOS setups can't recognize them.

You have to check partitioning style of your OS drive.
If OS drive is partitioned in MBR, then you have to convert it to GPT, to make UEFI compatible.
This can be done with
mbr2gpt
utility.
Please show screenshot from Disk Management first.

Why do you want to switch to UEFI?
