No efi system partition was found when trying to install ubuntu next to windows 10

I have windows 10 on disk 0 (Only one partition on the SSD Drive), and I have 2 partitions on disk 1, I'm trying to install ubuntu 20.04 on the first partition of disk 1, I was ready to format and install ubuntu there but I got the no efi system partition and got scared, I don't understand much about what I should do, create an efi partition? change something on my motherboard bios? also I don't know in what partition should I install grub? any help is appreciated my dudes

My motherboard is on legacy+uefi

This is where I want to install ubuntu, second hard drive, first partition

Diskpart list disk shows me that the first two drives are not in Gpt

The disk 0 and 1 are actually in MBR

These are the settings I used in rufus to create a live boootable ubuntu pendrive

Error I get (not mine)

We don't need an EFI System partition for installing ubuntu. And only root file system creation is enough. Click on the partition where you want to install ubuntu and delete partition. Next again click the unallocated space and click the + button. Then select ext4 as the file system and set mount point to / (filesystem root). Tyen click the partition type as Primary. Then create the partition. Now click the new root partition and click Next to install ubuntu there.

Hope that helps
