If you see the boot options under the VMware VM that already enabled and want to switch legacy follow the below steps.
Note:The process to make the VM bootable again after changing the firmware is quite a pain.You need to create a new boot partition on an MBR-partitioned disk.Then you need to boot from a Windows-installer ISO and run a bunch of commands to create a new BCDstore, add a new boot-option and stuff like that.
From vCenter Webclient:
Power Off the VM
Edit VM settings ->VM Option->Boot Options
Firmware Boot option is EFI and disabled.
Disable Virtualization based security and now you can change Firmware to Legacy BIOS.
