No sound When running Windows 10 with bootcamp

I bought a Macbook Pro 13" 2012 it had a broken hard drive when i bought it, I replaced the hard drive and tried installing Snow Leopard on it and it tells me that the computer is not compatible and to restart it. I then installed Windows 10 and then later installed boot camp to try to fix drivers, I got everything to work as it should but the sound. I then asked someone and they told me that the audio drivers can not be installed on "UEFI" bios and to change it to "Legacy" i don't really know how to do that so if someone could give me a hand or any ideas on how to get the sound to work in windows 10 i would appreciate it

Assuming that you can boot into Internet Recover (boot and hold Command+Opt+R), you can use How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support and boot from it. The OS X version that you can install is listed in macOS versions and builds included with Mac computers - Apple Support for your specific model. Snow Leopard is not supported on your specific model.

We still need to fix the Audio on the Windows side, correct?

You can upgrade OS X to Sierra (even though I would not recommend it). Mavericks/Yosemite should be fine, provided you have purchased them in the past. Once purchased, they can be downloaded repeatedly.
