XPS 8910, cannot add UEFI boot option?
I accidentally deleted all of the boot options for UEFI using the File Browser Del Boot Option. Now, I am unable to boot using UEFI. I do not want to use regular BIOS, so I need help adding these back.
Dell XPS 8910
Version: 1.1.5

Figured it out. In order to add the UEFI HDD boot option back (when missing) you have to do the following:
Hope this helps somebody!

This article may help: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln142679/how-to-enable-boot-from-dvd-option-with-uefi-boot-mode-enabled-windows-8-81-10-?lang=en
To add a boot option the bootable device must first be present; if there is no bootable device you cannot browse to add it.

I know of no way. Maybe try ...
- Backup or Image system in case things go terribly wrong.
- Turn-off SecureBoot until you are done.
- Set BIOS options to UEFI (and probably AHCI ... unless you have a RAID setup)
- F12 to one-time-boot the (newly created) Windows-10 flash-drive
- Reinstall over the top of your existing install ... tell it to keep your existing apps and docs
- Cross fingers while it's doing the overlay install/upgrade.

Tell us more about your system. Do you have a hard drive along with the SSD? Did you remove the hard drive when you installed Windows on the SSD?
