UEFI help, please

$

Hi. I just bought an XPS 13. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 10 via USB. In order to do so, I had to enable Legacy booting. In the process, I completely wiped all factory-set partitions. Everything is working fine, except now I can't restore UEFI booting. After some research and if I'm understanding correctly, one of the partitions I deleted contained the EFI resources (oops). So, the questions I have are:

  1. Is there a way to restore UEFI booting as it currently stands?
  2. Does leaving Legacy booting enabled present that much of a security threat?
  3. Will the Backup CDs from Dell factory reset my computer (including BIOS settings)?
  4. Do the Backup CDs cost extra?

I think I overestimated my tech skills and found myself way in over my head. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
