Upgrading the BIOS on a Gateway DX4860 from legacy BIOS to UEFI BIOS requires a specific BIOS update from Gateway. Here are the general steps to upgrade the BIOS:

Go to the Gateway support website and search for the DX4860 model.

Download the latest UEFI BIOS update file for your specific DX4860 model.

Extract the BIOS update file to a USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.

Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup by pressing the F2 key repeatedly during startup.

In the BIOS setup, navigate to the "Boot" tab and select "Boot Mode" or "UEFI Boot" option.

Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup.

Restart your computer and press the F12 key to access the boot menu.

Select the USB flash drive and press Enter to boot from it.

Follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade the BIOS.

Once the BIOS is updated to UEFI, you can install and configure your gaming components accordingly. Note that upgrading the BIOS is a delicate process, and any mistakes could potentially damage your computer. Therefore, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and take necessary precautions, such as backing up your data and disconnecting any unnecessary peripherals, before proceeding with the BIOS upgrade
