Dell only UEFI available? No legacy BIOS boot?

No more legacy boot on the Dell Latitude 5300.

Actually, I thought that every computer can still boot classically with BIOS Legacy Boot. However, the option is no longer available on my Dell Latitude. The thing is not even particularly new, as long as it is a few years old.

The option is missing in the UEFI BIOS. Other options are also missing where you could make settings to make the option available.

In comparison to my old Dell desktop, here there is the option and also the sub-item “Advanced Boot Options”.

I noticed this when trying to start HaikuOS, here the option to start the USB stick in the classic way is also missing. However, it is also possible to boot via UEFI.
