Hey guys, a friend of mine recently purchased 2 Nvme SSDS 256gb each from  used machines for cheap (40$ each), both work, and are detected properly in the bios, i also went up and Set upt the Raid volumen for a total of the 512gb,  but when i went to install windows, they were listed as sperate volumens, as i go back to the BIOS, the Raid option is not there anymore ._.

Remove the drives then boot up the laptop and then turn it off and reinstall them.

That's very weird. Idk, you can try updating the BIOS...

Well, since it is a laptop, you can contact the manufacturer. They should be able to help you!
