Answer 1

No option in the boot menu 

Answer 2

Here is a picture of a typical UEFI / Legacy boot selection option. Maybe the AsRock web page has some instructions for this. Keep in mind that I do not know if this would solve your problem. It's just a guess.

Answer 3

how do u put UEFI in Legacy boot options as i can't find that option 

If your BIOS supports UEFI then you will find this option under the Boot menu.

Answer 4

how do u put UEFI in Legacy boot options as i can't find that option

Answer 5

Maybe toggling the UEFI/Legacy boot options in the BIOS will solve your problem.
