I don't use RAID on desktops (for many years now). I can't advise on RAID, but maybe someone else can ?

But if it was a boot partition, I would not think so.

I'm not sure why, as you said you wanted to break the RAID ( nice side-effect is no more dependency on Intel-RST ) . Also, not sure why you have a RAID-1 in the first place on an Aurora-R1 (as RAID-1 is the slow one).

Then, instead of booting from an old-slow spinning-platter HDD, I suggest you:

- Install a famous-maker 240gb-512gb (2.5inch SATA) SSD.
- Clean-install Windows-10 64bit Home (for free) 

(After you retire this computer, you can pull the SSD and use in next PC).

If you don't like that plan, I guess just backup and try an in-place overlay OS upgrade .

i guess raid came with the unit when i ordered,,,if i knew more back then i would not have gotten it of course.

i do like your plan about the ssd,,so i may go that route,,,im going to delete the volume if my rst comes up..for some reason it is no working,,,i get a prompt that says rst is trying to connect the service...

sorry to be a PITA,,,,i appreciate your patients tesla,,thank you

dont worry  pretty soon i will go away alltogether

1. Sounds good. What sata SSD are you thinking of buying? I like Samsung and Kingston.

2. If you have RAID-ed drives, I suggest you NOT mess with Intel-RST (at this point).

In your case, the best way to get rid of it is to clean-install Windows-10 fresh (without any RAID drives setup in BIOS) ... and then, never install Intel-RST ... as you build the machine back up software-wise (ever). IIRC, one of those links I posted has notes about Intel-RST.

3. Your fine. But you should probably get-er-done if you are up to it.

i do also like the samsung ssd drives as i was going to have them in the origin pc i will eventually get(about a month at this point)however im just going to install win 10 with the drives i have and then not deal with any raid,,,

will the install win 10 automatically delete the raid??i want to  do it asap...or do i delete the volume and then install win 10...
