in bios there is an option UEFI Rom or legacy ROM
set "UEFI and Legacy BIOS Mode“ to „UEFI only“

if the BIOS was resetted (load standard defaults in BIOS), UEFI should be fine there

use the microsoft media creation tool to get a bootable usb flash drive, boot the flash drive in UEFI mode and install windows
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

eventually you will have to format the usb flash drive into GPT and use Rufus to install windows in uefi mode
