UEFI cannot be disabled. MBR booting is no longer an option past 6th gen skylake.
GPT UEFI is now required as is 64 bit windows.
No more CSM or windows 7 or 8 or 32 bit os.

Thank you ... Was not what I wanted to hear but gave me a clear path to a solution. Bummer Dell is limiting BIOS in the latest hardware.
Worse yet sales assured me the 7050 would support BIOS.

"Bummer Dell is limiting BIOS in the latest hardware"
Has nothing whatsoever to do with DELL.
Microsoft and INTEL etc made class 3 UEFI mandatory.
This means no more legacy, no more 32 bit and no more CSM MBR booting.
They announced this wayy back in 2017. So ALL vendors are going along with the no more legacy and no more 32 bit.
