Question Attempting to install windows 10 on an NVME M.2 Raid 0

[wcaillier]

I've read dozens of forums, watched dozens of videos, and I can't seem to figure it out.

Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus (1TB PCIe NVMe) M.2 Internal SSD ... x2

When using BIOs, I can create and verify that the raid 0 has been created, but windows does not detect the drive during installation, nor can I see the drive with windows installed on another drive, leaving me to believe that the array was not created successfully.

I can create the raid 0 array using disk management, but the format is "dynamic", and from what I've read online, software created raid 0 arrays cannot have OS installed.

While on their own, both M.2 drives can have windows installed to them.

Ultimately, I wish to have a Raid 0 array consisting of both M.2 drives, and have windows installed to said array. For the life of me I can't figure it out, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. All the "easy fixes" and the "one click methods" don't work at all.

which bios are you on, seems you need to have at least 1.6 to support nvme raid

You need to load the IntelRST driver during the Windows install process.
