[SOLVED] Cant install Windows 10 on my new M.2 PCIe NVME

[DANI3L]

So I bought this M.2
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32847169083.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.38024c4dEfyfXT

The M.2 Works when I boot to windows from another ssd, so its not broken...
I removed all Storage devices did all the usual steps, like removing CSM and clearing keys...
But after I boot to the Windows 10 Setup I can't see the M.2..

What can be my problem?
My MB is Asus Z170-P

Disable CSM
Install Windows 10 from USB with UEFI support

I tried all of this didn't helped, I figured it out by changing to AHCI mode on SATA MODE selection, it worked and showed the M.2

The problem with AHCI is that it disabling my INTEL Raid setup, so how can I boot with the M.2 with the Sata Mode Intel RAID on?

What does RAID have to do with it?

What does RAID have to do with it?

Because I run a Intel RST RAID
If I set to SATA Mode Selection to AHCI my raid is not working...
And If I set to Intel RST Premium (RAID) I can't boot to windows...

I have an option "M.2 PCIE Storage Raid Support" Should I choose "Not RST Controlled"?

We need a full rundown of all the parts in this, which drives might be involved in this RAID, what type of RAID array...as much detail as you can.

RAID 10, 4 drives of 2tb,

1. ST2000DM008
2. WDC WD20EADS
3. ST2000DM008
4. WDC WD2002FAEX

Before the install it all worked great..
So I turned the "M.2 PCIE Storage Raid Support" to "Not RST Controlled"
And I booted to windows, But now I have a bigger problem

I can't see my RAID Drive and in the Intel RST software, it says that 2 of my drives are missing
but I still can see them in the available drives list..

I actually managed to fix that!
First I deleted the RAID 10 Volume (yea it was a bit scary at the start)
steps by this guy

but the TESTdisk part didn't worked... I've waited almost 7-8 hours...
When i was accessing the volume it was giving me an error
"you need to Format the disk before you can use it"
Then I really wanted to gave up, untill I did a little bit of google search and found this artical

I only had to run this basic command "chkdsk n:/f "
The volume just came back to life like a magic!!
