   I think that should work without changing settings, although I haven't tried   
   it.   
      
   You need to ensure CSM is turned on, that's support for legacy BIOS boot.   
   Then select which disc to boot from at boot time and it'll use UEFI if   
   available and BIOS if not.  You probably want Secure Boot turned off as that   
   only works in UEFI mode.
