Hey guys, I am still not very versed on UEFI etc. and am having troubles finding the AHCI Setting to install my new SSD.  I have tried ESC>F10 and that gets me into the BIOS Setup, but I don't see the AHCI Settings, as I think I should.

Thanks, pcpunk

I think I've found the answer guys, maybe someone will confirm for me?  This is by one of your senior members, whom has helped me many times so I think it is good advice, but not positive it applies to my laptop?

 

"There is no option to set ACHI mode as apparently that is the default setting for your notebook. What you can't do is enable IDE mode as a hard drive option."
