It's two different boot modes. The first being UEFI boot and the second being a Legacy boot mode (which is just the device name).

 

Here's some documentation to inform yourself: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23161_01/html/E37044/gnchj.html

 

I would just use the first option UEFI and read all Windows install instructions carefully.

 

Also PROTIP: unplug the 2 TB drive while installing on the SSD to avoid windows making unecessary partitions on the second drive. Once windows is installed and the PC reboots you can plug back in the 2 TB and initialize it from the disk management center in windows.
