Hi @Rasele 

1. I can see two drives (in addition to Optane module): C: 500 GB SATA SSD System Disk and 1 TB Data SATA HDD. You didn't mentioned which drive are you going to accelerate C: or D:? Probably it is the D drive.

2. Is your drive partitioned with GPT type partition? If not it should be. In addition you should leave  5- 15MB of unallocated space in the end of the drive boeing accelerated. 

3. You need also install the latest Intel RST driver:  

4. Download Intel RST Driver and unzip it on your drive. Right click on iaStorAC.inf and select install from drop down menu. Reboot your computer.

5. Download from Microsoft Store and install the Intel Optane Memory and Management.

6. On the image showing the Disk Management, I can see that the Optane Module has partition and format. It should be clean and unallocated:

7. Right click on Windows key and press on Windows PowerShell (Admin).

8. From the command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. The diskpart prompt will open.

9. From the diskpart prompt, type list disk and press Enter. A list of disks will appear in a text format. You will return to the diskpart prompt.

10. From the diskpart prompt you will need to select a disk disk number (for instance, if the Optane Memory 32GB  is Disk 2, you would type select disk 2) and press EnterDiskpart Erase/Clean will permanently erase/destroy all data on the selected drive. Please be certain that you are erasing the correct disk. 

11. From the diskpart prompt, type clean and press Enter. The Optane Memory is now erased and the old enablement is not active any more.

12. Close out of the Command Prompt.

13. Now enable Optane Acceleration. Follow Intel Optane Memory Installation Guide, Section 3.
