Unable to set up Windows 10 on SSD.
Unable to set up Windows 10 on SSD.
I'm working on setting up Windows 10 Pro on a fresh SSD. Previously, I used an NVMe drive but now plan to use that same SSD for Arch Linux. The OS says it can't install because the BIOS disables it in IRST mode due to RAID configuration. I've checked downloading drivers from the motherboard maker's site, but it didn't help. I tried using SATA controllers in AHCI mode, which worked without issues, but it became unbootable when switching to IRST mode. The RAID array also gets disabled in AHCI, making it hard to switch modes during boot. Any suggestions?
Set up in AHCI mode, perform a full Windows update, then install the IRST drivers while the system is running, and finally change the BIOS settings. This method was previously effective when switching from IDE to AHCI, though its reliability with a RAID array isn't certain.
