Are you really dealing with optane and do you really want/need raid? Consider this carefully.

Well the problem solved by the client understand that there is no need to install Win11 os

and he can do the work he need in linux

And actually its the pretty much easy to blame the dev team of intel cause they removed the drivers zip file from the website .

Im not here to blame Intel devs/driver coders and say they put 'SetupRST.exe' as new installer proprietary to microsoft winOS ONLY ,and not helping end users to fix/troubleshoot/use .

So i realy hope they fix that and not have a tunnel vision ,All the best for you guys
