If my motherboard does not support UEFI then how come in this picture it says uefi but it doesn't say that it recognizes any hardware on this computer?
Clearly the system does support UEFI, but your post is so vague, and you're not reading the replies that assisting is all but impossible.
In order to boot a UEFI system, you must have a UEFI-compliant boot loader on the hard drive or SSD, or you will see exactly what you see there -- nothing listed as bootable.
If the system was running in CSM/Legacy mode, you cannot simply switch modes without reloading the operating system after repartitioning and reformatting the drive in GPT mode (MBR mode won't boot a UEFI system).
If I want to install an iso file for an operating system through a USB flash drive, through the bot, then I get a message that the computer does not support the MDR storage format, so what to do?
Windows has a utility called MBR2GPT that can do the job. That said, do not start the process without a full, verified backup of the data -- you can lose everything in the process.
You've still left far too many questions unanswered in order to figure out what's happening. Presumably, you mean MBR, not MDR -- but ISO files are not "installed" to a storage device. They're written to a flash drive or other media, and used to boot the system to start the installation.
You can use a utility like Rufus or Balena Etcher to prepare the boot media, and there are dozens of other options as well.

There's likely no UEFI bootable OS on your hard drive or SSD.
