You need to install Windows on your Lenovo S440. It has a 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM M.2 drive. You should set up RAID 0 for optimal performance. Follow the installation steps carefully to ensure everything is configured correctly.

You can't run those two in RAID 0 due to mismatched sizes, storage types, and speed differences. Also, the 16GB requirement isn't enough for Windows, so you'll likely need to install it on a regular hard drive. If you prefer an SSD, you can run apps directly on it instead.

A 16GB SSD seems unlikely. Running them in RAID 0 would give you 32GB total, which is marginally better than an HDD but still less reliable. It could slow things down and reduce overall capacity. I recommend checking the BIOS settings to confirm the drive sizes. It’s probably more likely you have a 120GB or larger drive, though a 60GB unit could work for installing Windows.

Windows isn't compatible with a 16GB storage device. Confirm the drive size—could it be a cache for a larger 500GB hard drive? Then proceed with installation there.

You might be able to, but it's not advisable.

Occasionally I question if "can" remains neutral.

I’ll verify it in the bios. In device manager it appears as 16 GB.
