Ahci mode requires the drive to be formatted completely and set on AHCI mode BEFORE installing an Operating System on it like Windows. 

I think you can but it's highly recommended and you HAVE to backup your DATA.

 

This case i think you have to wipe the drive and set it to AHCI but maybe try disconnecting the drive and connecting another drive to it to see if the option AHCI mode is available.

You can change the AHCI value in the registry I believe. Change it, restart, change the setting in the BIOS, and boot into Windows. It will automatically install the AHCI driver.

Yeah but its still recommended because of possible data loss chance like updating a firmware for an SSD also has that small risk. 

 

And the bios might be blocking it out gray because it detects an EUFI boot drive.
