How can i convert GPT to MBR without my bios having CSM support?
I already tried changing GPT to MBR from Windows installation shift+f10, MiniTool Partition Wizard, and every possible way I tried, but it never works since it just converts back to GPT ?
 
Csm (mbr) is for old hardware/ non uefi standards. Your laptop being really new and uefi (gpt) being the primary standard, is there even an option for legacy support in bios? Without that setting forget it.

Curious, why are you bothering with it anyway? Difference in boot record and formatting shouldn't affect how you run the computer, unless you read some thing for some problem that this might be the fix for.

If you have UEFI system without CSM, then you can not boot from MBR disks.
There's no point in converting from GPT to MBR.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Just to clarify that this is not even possible
Because i have no intention of converting disk to MBR but just wanted to clarify.

It is possible to convert.
There's just no point of doing that on your particular system.

If you want to, you can. With most 3rd party partition management softwares.
For example - Minitool partition wizard free.

about how to convert it that way is just to cheat in valorant or bypass it's TPM xD which MBR does
