I understand your setup and the challenges you're facing. Here are the two approaches you mentioned:

1. Create a PowerShell script to switch from RAID to AHCI, then image your Windows installation over it, and proceed with the usual steps.
2. Back up your Windows installation, create a new disk in RAID, boot into that RAID setup, and change the configuration to AHCI before transferring the files.

Both methods require careful handling of the RAID configuration during the switch, especially since AMD RAID behaves differently when RAID is disabled or when moving to a non-RAID storage device.
