GPT is to MBR as UEFI is to BIOS. GPT is a partition scheme. BIOS is a
firmware type. So there's no such thing as a BIOS disk. But if I guess
that by BIOS you mean sda is an MBR drive, in which case this is not a
supportable configuration and you should reinstall Fedora so you get a
UEFI based installation, and sda is partitioned using GPT.

Many firmware do have a legacy option in the firmware setup, but you'd
have to switch legacy on to boot this particular installation you have
of Fedora; and switch it back to boot Windows. That's probably why
right now only Windows is booting.
