Product: X9J88PA#ACJ
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I wanted to clean install windows 10 on this Notebook so I made a USB Boot Drive with Media Installation Tool from Microsoft. But when I go to the BIOS, the computer doesn't recognise the USB Boot Drive. 

 

I have read the forum and it suggested to enable Legacy Mode in Boot Options in System Configuration. But that automatically disables the Secure Mode (which is an excellent feature in UEFI)

 

My question is once I have installed Windows 10 can I revert the settings back to UEFI and Secure Boot Enabled?

Have you tried tapping Esc key immediately after powering on to open the menu where F9 Boot options is a choice? Tap F9 and see if the usb drive shows as a boot choice.

No, I haven't checked that. Before I just installed the USB and turned on the PC and the system boots straight from HDD it came with. I will check Esc and F9 and see whether it recognises or not and select that after. 

 

Technically it should show, right? Or do I have to change the Boot Order in UEFI and make USB Diskette to the first priority without messing with Legacy.
