Well, one important problem that you would certainly encounter when using BIOS to boot Windows — you won't be able to install it into a partition greater than two terabytes — because MBR partition scheme obviously doesn't support partitions spanning beyond two terabytes. I'm not sure it's a feature though.
I expect you to have this problem with grub too, but it's easily solvable with using GPT with protective MBR and a tiny /boot partition visible in MBR too.

@m0xee I'm not booting into windows. In this shit bios/uefi you can disable secureboot without booting in legacy.

I'm not claiming you are, just theorising why they might be giving you this warning. In the end it might be unrelated to SecureBoot — the fact that MBR doesn't support disks bigger than 2 Tb would certainly slip my mind if I didn't run into this myself.

Because it's marketing/fearmongering, they lie, it's what they do.

This is a 200 bucks acer laptop which has a life span of 1~2 years, they don't care aside bullshitting customers
