You could press F11 before BIOS posts to get the boot selection menu.

2 disk's shown here with a choice of either legacy (in red box) or UEFI boot. Choose legacy. Note that with CSM enabled and legacy devices (storage / graphics) one can still boot a GPT disk.
Personally I haven't used MBR partitioning on internal drives for years but from the sound of your other post it appears you have a GPT disk. The GPT contains a protective first sector that reports to any legacy system expecting MBR that the disk is fully used. If it's a disk you do not want to keep any data from then you could clear the first sector and create an MBR there instead.
