DELL XPS L321X

Question

Hi. I have a Dell XPS L321X. Since Windows 7 is out of support i decided to upgrade it to Windows 10. It all works fine, but the problem i have is if i want to boot a linux distro (specifically Lakka or any other distro) i get an error saying: Operation system not found, and it is not a typo. My bios does not have a uefi/legacy option or a secure boot option. I looked into upgrading it but my version is from january 2013 and latest is september 2013. So i figured it would not be worth it and also i do not trust myself because i am just clumsy. So if anyone knows the solution please respond to me.   Thanks.
