My gut tells me that you can't on your specific machine. Most motherboard vendors have deprecated BIOS support in favor of UEFI, and Intel has specifically said that BIOS will not be supported in 2020. Best get used to the idea of running with UEFI, as much as we all hate it.

Perhaps what you should be looking to do is disable SecureBoot, and then looking into installing Linux Mint 18 in UEFI mode? I'd wager that the MInt installer supports UEFI. Worst case you install Ubuntu or one of its variants, they definitely support UEFI.
