Keep looking for other replies and fix suggestions here in the future, but for
now I'd suggest trying this.
I recently inspected a Lenovo 720 for a short time in the BIOS, I noticed the
UEFI boot selecting between LegacyBIOS/UEFI was grayed out, and from another
experience a year or so ago I had to switch some BIOS settings to allow to
enable LegacyBIOS. Sometimes you need to re-start the BIOS/PC to make changes
take effect too. Since you probably have a grayed out UEFI boot-selection in
the boot menu, chances are it's a setting that needs changing, to allow
LegacyBIOS to be selected. Which setting, is hard to say, I don't have that
knowledge on hand, but it's probably a UEFI related setting which can't be
enabled while LegacyBIOS is used. Be careful you don't change anything risky if
you're trial and error'ing this though.
Keep trying, you might get it working in the end, whether it's by UEFI or
LegacyBIOS. It might be worth it to see if you can get LegacyBIOS enabled.
