Inspiron 15Z Windows Reload Problem with SSD
I recently had to reload Windows on my Inspiron 15 5523. I am now running WIndows 10 on it but I cannot figure out how to configure the 32gb SSD to work with the 500gb SATA hard drive. I have installed the Intel software but it keeps saying the 32gb SSD is incompatible with the software.
What do I need to set in the BIOS and how do I set up the drives so that the SSD will function as a cache as it was originally?
Thanks to all for any help they can give

If you have already reinstalled you should be able to open the Intel utility, which should be available in the Taskbar hidden icons, and go to the performance page to enable acceleration.
You do need to have RAID set as the SATA controller. Make sure you did not install Win 10 on the 32 GB drive.

The details for Windows 7/8 are basically the same as for Windows 10.
