No boot and no legacy 😰 Acer Aspire A515-52G

I just purchased an Acer Aspire A515-52G but as soon as I turned it on it told me "no bootable devices". I thought I could find an easy solution online, which I did except for the fact that most of them involved switching on legacy but no matter what I select in BIOS there's no legacy option. I tested out fixing the boot information with a bootable USB but that did absolutely nothing. All other advice I can find just doesn't seem to make any sense and I'm reaching my wits end. Does anyone have any suggestions that are easy to understand? 😅

    This is all the boot will show me and the only option is UEFI

    Use a Windows install flash drive and boot into the repair environment. Go to the command prompt and run diskpart. Use the 'list disk', 'list vol' and 'sel disk #'/'list part' command to see what partitions are on the drive and copy that to us here.
