Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

Also see this similar guide on how to ask smart questions.

When requesting support, please include specific, detailed, and relevant information about your system and issue.

We need such information because we don't know what it's like inside your system, and it's unlikely that we know much about the issue you're facing. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you with your specific issue.

Some examples of frequently requested information include the steps you took before your issue occurred (such as system updates), the steps you took to resolve your issue and their results, and your environment (such as your display manager or desktop environment).

Vague or superficial questions lead to vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

You can use GPT on legacy bios but it's not recommended

#

And no, you can't install UEFI to a legacy bios. That's a hardware thing

#

On a VM, you have to set it to UEFI

#

If you made a VM in legacy mode you have to make it switch to UEFI

#

Tho you can do a legacy install with MBR

#

GPT is way easier than MBR and has no limitations
