I would guess the starting point would be to create a new VM using the Windows 10 template and tick the "Enable EFI" checkbox on the System -> Motherboard configuration tab.

Then make sure you choose a 64 bit version in the VB settings and then install a 64 bit version of Win 10. 32 bit OS's cannot boot via UEFI on a 64 bit processor.

I have heard here on the forum that EFI booting is not supported for anything other than OSX but I remember goofing with it and it worked just fine.
