Does a Windows 11 Recovery Drive work if I change Intel Optane to AHCI?

My laptop came with "Intel Optane without RAID" set by default. In order to install Linux Mint alongside Windows 11, I changed it to AHCI and then did a clean installation of Windows 11. Before that, I created a recovery drive on a USB flash drive to do a factory reset if needed.

After doing a clean install of Windows, some thing doesn't work the same as before, so I want to use the Windows Recovery Drive to get back to the manufacturer configuration, but I still want to use Dual Boot with Linux so I need to stay using AHCI.

Can I use the recovery Drive to reinstall Windows without changing the computer back to Intel Optane? As far as I know, a Windows Recovery Drive is not a system image, but a sort of Windows installer + preinstalled software, but I don't want to format my computer just to check it out.

Will some of the preinstalled software which was used with Intel Optane in mind have a conflict with the AHCI configuration?

Some extra information:
I have two Recovery Drives, one made just after I got the computer (Windows 10 1903 preinstalled) and another made just before doing the clean installation (Windows 11 22H2)

I'm not sure anyone fully understands Intel Optane entirely as it is a touchy gray area. I am not familiar enough to answer questions about it so I'll leave that up to the more advanced users to answer. You might want to look at this post on the Ubuntu forum.

But I will say, IMO using a recovery drive is not nearly as dependable as using a good backup program and making a system image. I never depend on anything but a system image which has not ever failed me.

An drive plus Optane and an Optane cache drive are different breeds, the first is an SSD with an Optane cache built on, the second is a small (typically 16 - 32GB) 3D-XPoint drive used to act as a fast cache for standard HDDs.
Usually for Optane to work it needs to be enabled in the BIOS and have the driver installed and enabled in Windows, Linux is not officially supported as far as I am aware (at least not with the cache drive) although I'm betting the community has a work around.
If the access type is set to AHCI then the Optane cache type will act just like a PCIe3x2 M.2 drive, albeit small capacity.
The other type, drive plus Optane (H10 and similar, not familiar with these) will need the BIOS and driver support for the Optane part but might work fine as a PCIe3x4 M.2 drive, the Intel forums would be the best place to find this information.
Optane support should be disabled in the Software in Windows, which will unmap certain system files back to the host drive, before changing BIOS settings.
An Optane enabled system should ideally have Optane disabled before making any type of backup, Optane support can be re enabled after a restore is performed through the BIOS first, then the Windows software.
Windows does not backup the cached files from the Optane drive so restoring a system can cause issues, and non booting, although the cache might just rebuild and work fine after a re boot.
This is based on my experiance from several years ago, the drivers and utility software may have been changed/ improved since then, but I would strongly advise making a system image before making any changes that might result in a non booting machine and check the Intel forums for advice on Optane and as I said, I am not familiar with the drive plus Optane, like the H10 series.
