Support Can't find option to enable UEFI Boot Mode in BIOS

I'm trying to follow the steps in this video guide for installing Home Assistant, which recommends setting the boot mode to UEFI.

In the video, there's a BIOS setting called "Boot Mode Select", and they switch it to UEFI. However, I’m using a BeeLink Mini S Intel N100, and I can’t find that option anywhere in my BIOS.

Here’s what my BIOS looks like under the Boot tab:

Has anyone else run into this with the BeeLink Mini S? Is there another way to confirm or change the boot mode to UEFI on this device?

Pretty sure modern Intel chips don't support legacy BIOS boot mode - they can only boot in UEFI mode - so I imagine that's been removed from the menu.

Under security..secure boot. UEFI is secure boot. It should be on that page.
