Hi:

 

If your notebook does not have two lists of boot options--Legacy and UEFI--in the F9 boot options menu, then your notebook does not have a UEFI BIOS.

 

If it does, there are videos out there such as this one that show how to do that without reinstalling Windows.

 

How to change Legacy to UEFI without reinstalling Windows 10, 11 - YouTube

 

Back up your files first.

 

Or you can reinstall Windows by booting from the EFI USB flash drive and not the legacy one.
