Hi:

 

Check your notebook's BIOS settings.

 

It should already have a UEFI BIOS since it originally came with W8.

 

If it has a UEFI BIOS, it should have a legacy mode and secure boot setting.

 

See this link...

If your notebook's BIOS is set to legacy mode, you can't change it to UEFI mode or W10 will not boot.

 

You would need to make a UEFI W10 installation flash drive and reinstall W10 with Legacy mode disabled and secure boot enabled.
