Do you actually need UEFI for anything? There should be a selection to use legacy mode instead. Changing that might be a pain though.

However, it is possible that the boot device is not set properly in the BIOS setup, or that the SSD is not being recognized as bootable. When you get to the UEFI BIOS, what do you actually have to do to get it to boot Windows? Are you going to the Boot Menu and selecting something? Additional details with BIOS settings and action descriptions might help. Check the boot order and boot device selection in the BIOS settings.
