@ mdigitale, .......
Fyi, afaik, since 2015, Dell shipped their XPS line and Business line(Latitude and Precision) of Win 10 PCs with SATA configuration in BIOS set to RAID mode using proprietary Intel RST drivers = the hard-drive cannot be detected by the Linux Installer = not easy to install Linux. ... http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter ... t/19659260
Even reinstalling Win 10 in RAID mode on the Dell XPS line is not easy, ie you need to first install the Intel RST driver before Win 10 can be installed. So, should use AHCI mode.
... It was even worse for the 2016-released Lenovo Yoga 900-13ISK, ie only RAID mode was available and no AHCI option in BIOS SATA setting. To get the AHCI option, you needed to update the BIOS firmware to the one that is dated early 2017.
