Latitude 5175 & USB UEFI Boot for MDT Deployment

Has anyone worked out how to boot/deploy Windows to one of these tablets with UEFI turned with Secure Boot?

We recently purchased a few of these Latitude 5175 tablets and I would like to boot these via USB with UEFI as well as Secure Boot enabled. We deployed all of our older Dell hardware with Windows 7 in Legacy mode so this is new for us.  I created USB UEFI media and I can boot on a Latitude E5440 successfully so I know my media is "good". The reimage "how to" guide discusses using a USB-C dock, which I do not have, but it does not state that this is the ONLY way to boot USB UEFI?

Latitude E5440 & my USB Media:

  1. UEFI with Secure Boot Enabled = Success
  2. UEFI with Secure Boot Disabled = Success
  3. UEFI with Secure Boot Disabled & Legacy ROMs enabled = Success
  4. Legacy & Legacy ROMS enabled = Success

I wanted to follow-up on my own post in case someone else might find the info helpful.  The USB media I created was formatted NTFS since I found a groovy post about how to use Rufus to create this media for use with MDT 2013 (mostly to move beyond the 32GB barrier, but I only have 16GB sticks).  I created another USB media with FAT32 formatting and the Latitude 5175 tablets boot just fine.  I cannot explain why an OLDER piece of hardware by over 3 years can support USB media formatted NTFS as well as FAT32 and newer gear only supports FAT32.
