I doubt that the issue has anything to do with the UEFI.
I took a look at the available drivers and I notice that there are none available for Windows 8.1. You may have to revert to Windows 8 to regain performance.
You can analyze the boot performance if you want to see the cause. In your case I highly suspect it is a drivers issue. You are unlikely to see that in a boot analysis, since an analysis assumes the correct drivers have been installed. You can try it if you want.
Which antivirus program are you using?
There is probabably an application (or two) that causes the boot time to increase dramatically .
You might consider downloading the Windows desktop risk and analysis toolkit for Windows 8.1 update. There are two utilities included that are very helpful, called Xperf and Xbootmgr, that will enable you to analyze the boot process. Of course I have no idea as to how high your level of knowlege of operating systems is.

That actually is an answer. Your desktop PC has a modern UEFI BIOS. You can enter the BIOS and enable legacy boot, but your PC may not boot into the Windows operating system because of the way Windows was installed. Once you do that, you will also have to select the hard disk as the first or second item in the Legacy Boot source list.
Don't forget to save the change after you make it. Good luck.
