Cant access Windows 8.1 after Zorin OS 9 Install

I installed Zorin OS 9 alongside Windows 8.1. I can't boot into Windows 8.1. I am in Legacy mode and I believe the problem has to do with that, but I can't access the BIOS on my Sony laptop. I installed Zorin in Legacy and Windows 8.1 is in UEFI. This is my first attempt at Linux and any help to be able to access BIOS to switch it back to UEFI would be awesome.

Try EasyBCD from Softpedia? But you still may have an issue with EFI - not sure - check out the Matthew Moore video on unconventional method of dual booting on YouTube - I posted a link on here - lunch is over hence no time to post link! ;)
