Your windows is installed in legacy mode.
You can not boot it into UEFI mode.
It needs to be converted to UEFI compatible first with mbr2gpt utility.

Open elevated command prompt.
Validate conversion first.
mbr2gpt /validate /disk:1 /allowfullos

If validation is successful, then proceed with conversion.
mbr2gpt /convert /disk:1 /allowfullos

I'd suggest you have windows installation media prepared.
If something goes wrong with mbr2gpt conversion, you'll need it.
Your system will not be able to boot into legacy mode anymore.
If your pc has any trouble booting in UEFI mode, then there's no easy way to go back to legacy mode.

Is it worth backing up my data now then

Do you have windows 10 installation media prepared?
If not, then make one. You'll need empty 8GB USB flash drive.

Do not reboot your pc before you have it created.

You should be doing that anyway, always.
Not just in preparation for a potentially destructive action.

Do I need to boot uefi defaults in the bios

Do I need to boot uefi defaults in the bios

Do you have windows installation media created?

If you have, then

boot into BIOS,​

set UEFI boot to enabled and​

set first boot device to Windows Boot Manager.​

Should be able to boot into windows after this.
