What kind of laptop do you have? It seems to me like you've got the BIOS-protection on, and on my Dell I need to switch that off from within the OS before I can do anything with the BIOS, although that does include access to BIOS.

and how do I do that? I looked at the boot menu and didn't see the legacy option
If your boot menu is F10, the odds are the bios is on F2. F8, F1, ESC and DEL are also commonly used.

Once you are in there do as Topaz Fusion suggests
