Win 10 Installer & Win 11 Installer detecting neither of my 2 nvme drives individually, nor a raid-0 RST array comprised of them
Fixed:
Create Windows Installation media on a USB with MBR partition table. I followed the steps on a Mac using this guide, but imagine if you just used the official windows media installer on a windows machine that USB stick would work.
You also will need to install the RST drivers if you are installing on NVME drives. Even if you are not using raid. Either download them from your motherboard manufacturer's website and put them on a separate USB stick, or extract them from the setupRST.exe provided by install if you search from the RST drivers. run ./setupRST.exe -extractdrivers setupRSTDrivers and the drivers will be extracted into that folder.
Then, finally, the windows installer gets confused if there are other boot partitions on the device you are installing to, so you need to remove all other boot partitions, even extra USBs (not the windows installer) from the PC before continuing. deleting/formatting them also works.
If you do all this you can install windows on a system that shares a software raid 0 array with an arch linux install.
