You want the UEFI boot which shows your USB flash drive. I would leave the BIOS in UEFI and AHCI mode. You don't have to delete and format partitions. Just delete all the partitions and Windows 10 will create the proper partitions and format the destination drive. This YouTube video should help as it is a step by step tutorial.
One question, did you download the media creation tool from the MS site here or use Rufus? I would only use the media creation tool.

You can download the official Windows 10 installation media for free from Microsoft and complete a clean install. Go to Microsoft's Download Windows 10 page, and click “Download Tool Now”, and run the downloaded file. Next “Create installation media for another PC”.
