This is my second time asking this question because my first post was tagged as "Answered" but all I got was a rude, condescending, unhelpful answer by StevenGen lol. Can anyone kindly provide a proper suggestion or is this really a limitation of this laptop? Please don't be rude I'm asking nice and genuine question.

Hi All, how do I enable the boot mode so I can change it from UEFI into a different one?

Solutions tried:

1.Create a super user password

2.Disabled Secure Boot

3.Disabled TPM

Laptop Model: Nitro AN515-58

Windows 11

A little bit of context on why I want to enable — want to try changing it since I'm trying to install windows 7 as a dual boot. The screen freezes on the when the starting logo if Windows 7 installation shows and saw a solution on youtube to change the boot mode.

Tried different installers and they are working on my other laptop so I'm sure the installers are not the problem and they're not corrupted.

Thank you!

So, I literally copied and pasted your entire question and details into chatGPT and got this if it's not helpful I'm sorry in advance.
To change the boot mode from UEFI to Legacy on your Nitro AN515-58, you can follow these steps:
Restart your laptop and press F2 when prompted to enter the BIOS menu.
Navigate to Boot Maintenance Manager -> Advanced Boot Options -> Boot Mode.
Select the desired mode: Legacy.
Please note that changing the boot mode to Legacy might make your system unbootable if it was installed in UEFI mode. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
If you’re still unable to change the boot mode, you might need to recreate your USB Windows installation media for UEFI install or change boot mode to legacy and install Windows in legacy mode.
Also, when you want to boot from a USB stick, make sure to change the boot order in the BIOS settings to prioritize the USB stick.
Please be aware that Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it might not have the necessary drivers for newer hardware. It’s recommended to use a supported version of Windows for better compatibility and security.
