How?

I do not mean to be difficult - I do not know how to do it.

I assume that it is done from within the OS (Linux Mint 21.1)?

I am assuming that, because the System information output, that the BIOS 
has been superseded, or, replaced, by the UEFI, even though, they have 
the same identifier (N81) ?

My understanding of this, is minimal (to lacking).
