@naim4,

 

Yes indeed, the GTX 1050 / GTX 1050 Ti are also mentioned specifically by Users as being compatible with legacy BIOS.

@naim4,

 

And with regards to changing legacy BIOS to UEFI BIOS: it depends.  You first have to ascertain if your PC is compatible with UEFI:

@naim4,

 

That looks A-OK!  According to: c03550748.pdf (hp.com), your motherboard is ATX 24-pin power-enabled, which is really nice:

@naim4,

 

Well, I'll be a doggone monkey's uncle...

 

YES, it does indeed mean that your system supports UEFI -wonderful to see!

 

Dusted off a document (HPSBGN3552 rev.1 HP Secure Boot UEFI Update | HP® Customer Support), that would suggest backing up what you just discovered.
