Additionally, hitting F12 with my Windows 10 Boot disk to get it to be detected with UEFI mode on as you said to do, also doesn't work. Why? I'm guessing it's because Dell prohibits you from booting from USB sticks unless your'e in Legacy Mode. That is ridiculous. Why restrict that? There is no reason for this that makes sense, and Dell is purposefully making it harder to use third party cloning tools to image large number of pc's their customers have purchased. It's frustrating, and there's no documentation that I can find that anyone was alerted to these changes when cloning PC's or doing fresh installs.
I've tried to keep Secure Boot enabled, and going into F12 to choose my USB stick containing windows 10 and it won't detect the windows setup. Strangely, it does boot the image I'm trying to boot normally with. But when you unplug the usb stick it still goes back to no boot media found. I'm starting to think the pc is now corrupt and unrecoverable.
So now, being forced to boot from Legacy mode just to see my external flash drive that contains a bootable Windows 10 I get this... So what am I supposed to do with this PC? It's useless

It is however, shown in the Device Configuration screen, from the F12 menu. (for some reason, this forum doesn't allow me to rotate my images, sorry)
