    It looks like you were installing kali in Legacy mode which is not made for latest operating systems. Hence the word legacy.

    Disable both Legacy BIOS and Secure boot. Enable UEFI.

    Even though it's optional yet I would suggest that make your hard drive to GPT if it is in MBR. There is no need of Extended Partition in GPT.

    Format your hard drive with GPT partition scheme. You can do that with Gparted by booting into kali live.

    Don't create any partitions. Keep the entire hard drive as unallocated.

    I personally create bootable USB with rufus in DD mode but you can use any.

    Install kali in UEFI mode. Installer will do the rest of the work.

    If you are getting errors like grub-install: command not found, then you need to reinstall OS.
