XPS 15 9570 - Windows 10 USB not recognized during boot for clean install
Hi,
What I've done so far:
-boot from each of the 2 ports
-disable secure boot
-use the windows creation tool and the ISO
-in rufus: create via GPT and MBR, FAT32 and NTFS
-with 2 different USB sticks
I've got only "Windows Boot Manager" as a choice during the boot. Am I missing a driver or something?
Could you please help me?

Is the BIOS set for AHCI and did you format the drive for FAT 32 (which should have been done by the media creation tool)? This page may help with UEFI settings.

You probably skipped a step when making the bootable thumb drive. The iso file has to be burned to the usb drive to make it bootable. Don't use Rufus. Windows install will prepare the drive. To do a clean install you boot to the thumb drive you made and choose custom install which lets you delete the partition with windows. That allows you to install windows on the unallocated partition. The directions are here under Create media for a diff computer- Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Rufus burns the iso to the USB, doesn't it?
Anyways, I tried another tool to burn the ISO, Windows USB/DVD Download Tool from Microsoft (https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/burn-windows-10-iso-usb/) and the result is the same.

The BIOS is set to RAID and when I wanted to change it to AHCI, there was a warning that I possibly could not boot to my installed Windows after that. Is it safe?
As for FAT32, yes Rufus prefill automatically to it.
