Hi,

UEFI boot is the boot process used by UEFI firmware. The firmware maintains a list of valid boot volumes called EFI Service Partitions while
Legacy BIOS is the boot process used by BIOS firmware. This can help improve compatibility with older operating systems that weren’t designed with UEFI in mind.

UEFI and Legacy have the same function, the only difference is that UEFI boot process is faster and frequently use nowadays.

For more information, please refer to the articles below:

• Boot to UEFI Mode or Legacy BIOS mode
• UEFI Firmware
  

Let us know if you have any other concerns.

If it has both UEFI and Legacy modes you can install either way. UEFI mode still uses BIOS but OS makes a partition in which all BIOS settings are in software mode and so ads more possibilities and features that could be changed "on the fly". UEFI is more "modern" design and some HW may depend on it to work. In cases when BIOS settings are restricted (usual happening with laptops) UEFI may provide more flexibility.
