It matters.  Is it incapable of EFI or you just aren't using EFI and
using bios boot instead?  If your system is capable of EFI, the install
might default to EFI.  When you boot the install media, stop it at the
menu, edit the kernel line to remove rhgb and quiet.  You should see
something like "EFI secure boot enabled" if it is booting in EFI mode.

There was an error for systems that had older versions of grub boot
record on bios systems.  If you still get the error, and you *are*
booting via bios boot record, you should boot the rescue system and do
a 
grub2-install </dev/sd?>
on the drive where you are installing the new version of the OS.

You could also use a netinstall version to give you more control of the
install process.  A live install is basically just a dd of the install
media to the drive.  A netinstall will allow you to set the root
password, create a user, and custom configure the drive setup.  Part of
that will be the ability to choose whether to boot EFI or bios.
