I have ACHI on my laptop. I had Linux Mint on it and I'm removing Mint and doing a factory restore with Windows so I can sell the laptop. I'm not a techie, a friend changed the laptop to ACHI as it's a SS drive and needed ACHI for Mint. So the gist is how to have a clean new Windows 10 to sell it. I've already deleted the partitions on the drive for Mint. I want to make sure if I do the factory reset with with Windows 10 the new Windows will function with ACHI.
Or perhaps I can more easily restore the bios/SATA settings to default and not use ACHI. I may not have the terms right with bios and SATA. But whatever would undo what my tech friend did switching to ACHI in a very easy way, e.g. restore defaults, so I can safely do a restore for Windows 10. I want to keep it as simple as possible.
Here's a post I found on the net, ""System Repair and Recovery or the Repair CD doesn't support AHCI... " (and see another good description in my comment below.)
Thank you.
