Your description of your situation suggests that you are using

Why ?
In the absence of strong motivation [1], I recommend against moving to
UEFI. From my experience and knowledge, EFI boot is more complex, has
more bugs and is more easily broken than legacy BIOS boot.
[1] Such motivation may include some (but not all) multi-boot setups, or the
lack of NVMe support by the UEFI firmware in legacy mode.
I do indeed work with many multiboot setups, and my experience with UEFI has
all been positive. Apart from the ease of applying changes in multiboot
systems, I find that UEFI makes the boot process more open to the user, and
accessible. The only problems I've encountered appear to be caused by poor or
limited support in old firmware, or by non-standard features added by vendors
such as Apple.
