Hi,
i've tried to install windows 10 on my PCIe SSD on the Aurora R7. however, i don't see the PCIe SSD when i start the install, the only drive available is the SATA one.
Can you please help install it ?

Yeah, a couple of Forum users back in Aurora R5/R6 days were asking about it (it's all here, you can search). Still don't know why it even matters with non-SATA drives, but it seems to.
With it in RAID-Mode, I think you have to load Intel Disk-Controller F6 Driver. But who wants RAID feature and Intel-RST installed in Windows anyway (I know I don't).
I had same problem trying to Nuke-and Pave a Dell Laptop (with NVMe/PCIe SSD) the other day. The Windows Installer could not see the SSD. I found it set to RAID, so I changed it to AHCI and it worked fine. AHCI is fast and no Intel-RST required.
Not sure how Dell gets that installed, but I think it might have something to do with their initial factory imaging solution.

I had the same challenge when installing my M2, had to disconnect the original boot disc and then in the bios (F2 at boot) set SATA Operation (under advanced I think) to AHCI.
