Hi Surface2018,
Regarding with this concern, you are trying to re-install Window son the device using a USB Recovery Image, right?
Were you able to try to proceed in re-installing without changing UEFI SATA settings? What happened? We would like to know since usually, in re-installing Windows, it can just be done without changing UEFI SATA settings.
What happened before now that caused you to change UEFI SATA settings?
Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Marrion Y.
