Hello guys, I'm having issues installing Windows 10 pro on my RAID 0. I've successfully created a RAID 0 with my 2 1tb NVMe wd black drives and it's showing perfectly on the BIOS as a 2TB RAID0.
The problem is that on Windows 10 install the RAID partition doesn't show up, ive downloaded a ton of drivers and manually selected them all but still can't get the RAID to show. Can someone please post a link to the correct drivers?
Its a ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO motherboard.
Thank you all!

When you say the RAID partition, have you used the entire NVME drives or have you selected partitions on each? Only a thought as I have never used motherboard RAID myself. However, if you don't have them installed, I think you might need to install the VMD drivers which MoKiChU supplies here:

I might be wrong, but hopefully that leads you in the right direction? I'm not sure if you mean that you can't even install Windows (in which case the drivers won't help) or if you just can't see the RAID partition in Windows which has been created from sub-partitions. If that's the case, try using the entire NVME drives. That's what I would try at any rate.
My preference is not to use motherboard RAID 0 in case a drive fails, but if you can afford to lose any data and just want the speed then I get it.
