You could just google that, maybe these links will help you further: https://www.howtogeek.com/193669/whats-the-difference-between-gpt-and-mbr-when-partitioning-a-drive/
BIOS and UEFI explained, all you need to know about – Marksei
BIOS and UEFI are two of a kind, but completely different from each other. They serve one major purpose: booting the machine; but what are the differences?
www.marksei.com
You could check in bios for a 'legacy' mode or if CSM is on enable but if you still can´t boot try windows repair options.
MBR = Master Boot Record, it is in sector 0 of the drive and contains vital information for the boot process.

Hence over 3K posts and I got to ask the Question, what were those posts for? MBR is part of the OS, and is fixable from the command prompt

Make a bootable USB pendrive with Windows 10 or whatever version of windows you've had installed before. Boot from it instead of SSD/HDD or whatever you're trying to boot now. Huskie already solved this issue in 2nd post.

I get no post if I plug in my hdmi cable to the onboard graphics of the mobo.
This is what I get when I plug in from the GPU.
You dont have a drive attached, if you want to get into the bios read your motherboard manual on how to do so.
By the way do you even know what post is?

The problem is that I already have windows on my ssd and it won't boot from it. It recognizes both HDD and SSD so it is not a problem of recognition.
If I make a bootable drive, it means I have to wipe out all stuff I had in my SSD which had important information for me. So how can I fix this? I also cannot upgrade windows.

If you have a bootable USB drive with windows files on it you can boot from that and instead of reinstalling it try the repair options. If the MBR got lost or damaged this can repair it.
If there is valuable information on the SSD that you don´t want to loose, it may be a good idea to back it up first, using a working PC to copy the files temporarily over to another drive (like your HDD).
