    I just bought a barebones P750DM and put in 2 Samsung 950 m.2 nvme drives. I went in the bios and enabled raid, rebooted and they are recognized correctly under the Intel raid menu. I set them up as raid 0 and it says it is bootable.

    I downloaded Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool (twice in case I got a bad download) and put the USB drive in the laptop. It will boot to the installation, but when it gets to the select disk part, nothing shows up. I tried loading raid drivers from Sager, Intel raid drivers, and Samsung nvme drivers but it still doesnt find the raid.

    I tried this, but when I get to the fix boot.wim section, I get an error maybe because I am on Windows 10 now:

    I also tried a Windows 7 DVD using a USB drive, but it always freezes as it is loading.

    Searching the internet gives links that say to change certain bios options that are not in this laptop's bios. On the front page it lists SATA 0-4, but nothing is found. I figures that was right since its an m.2 drive.

    Is there a walk through on how to install Windows 10 on this laptop with nvme drives?

    Thanks.

    Edit: Update- I changed from raid back to ahci, and now it recognizes both drives during the Windows installation so its something with the raid that was causing an issue. Has anyone installed Win 10 on a raid with m.2 nvme drives?

    Same issue here. Did you figure it out?

    Are you in pure UEFI mode?
