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.
