The option you’re looking for has many names, depending on the make and model of the PC or laptop and the EFI firmware. Here is a list of common/typical settings, which need to be turned on to enable Legacy Mode:
           >> Legacy Support: "On" or "Enabled"
           >> Legacy CSM: "On" or "Enabled"
           >> UEFI/Legacy Boot: "Both" or "Legacy Only"
           >> Boot Mode: "Legacy Support"
