I had the same problem on my Samsung laptop after I cleaned out all the partitions and reinstalled windows from a USB. The process required legacy USB.
After a flawless install I couldn't boot from the HDD.
I found that I could boot the OS on the HDD by plugging in the bootable Win USB and ignoring the "press any key to boot from USB".
After booting into Win from the HDD, I repaired BCD using Visual BCD, a free program. If you cant boot into windows, you can still make the HDD bootable by manually editing the BCD entries.
Then I went into command prompt and converted MBR disk to GPT using MBR2GPT command. This command will work only if the disk is a system (bootable) disk.

Then I shut down windows, removed USB, set Fast BIOS to enabled and disk type to UEFI.
