The USB image supports legacy and UEFI boot. I'm not 100% sure if
this is a reliable method but when I boot up via legacy the
/sys/firmware/efi folder does not exist but when I boot via UEFI the
folder does exist.
There is probably a way on your machine to disable legacy boot and
also select to boot from USB when legacy boot is disabled.
When I installed Arch alongside Windows 8, I had the same problem that
it didn't offer me a UEFI boot option. I think I had to disable CSM
(Compatibility Support Module) in my BIOS settings. After that, it
worked perfectly.
It will probably not be the same for you, since I have an Asus BIOS. But
the option was about some "non-UEFI driver add-on devices". Hope that helps.
