I updated my BIOS and now have UEFI boot options. Its on legacy + UEFI. Do I need to reinstall Win 8.1 to use any features?
UEFI, do I need to reinstall?

You can have a UEFI Bios mode set to fast Boot etc and GPU Bios using UEFI also set in Bios and not have Windows installed in that mode.
Just do not set Boot device to UEFI.
If you wanted to go 100% fully UEFI then yes you would need set up all the Bios options and reinstall Windows in that mode.

Is there any real advantage of going 100% UEFI?

Boot speed would be the real advantage. >2TB drives, etc. as well
