Bios uefi and legacy

rolic

So I open up system information, and i see bios mode is legacy mode but I believe i have uefi bios because of the looks of my bios. I decided to update bios to the latest version. After that, i went back to system information and it's still in legacy mode. Why is that?

I've never messed with my bios other than cpu overclocking, still don't get while windows recognize it as "BIOS mode: legacy"
