Driver to restore Win11 image backup

Hello;

Inspiron 16 7630 2-in-1 laptop, Windows 11 Pro 21H2 2.2000.2538

I have been trying to test restoring a window11 image backup. I can successfully create the backup and a startup USB drive. When I try to restore I get the image restore failed, error 0x80042414, when I try to find the image file. I have researched this, my storage BIOS setting is set to RAID by default. 

I didn't want that but that was the default I guess. One article suggested switching to AHCI mode but when I do that the system won't boot. I've tried toggling secure boot etc. no effect.

I believe the solution is to load the right RAID driver during the restore. I tried to download one and while it seemed to load it still failed. 

I really dont want to reinstall everything under AHCI mode, is there a driver I can use? Thanks
