Intel 530 series 180 GB not recognised by Windows 10 setup

This week I bought a Intel 530 series 180 GB for my Medion Akoya E1232T notebook to replace the 500gb hdd (installed: Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 dual boot)

The product code of the 530 series = SSDSC2BW180A4K5 / version G88473-201.I prefered a clean install, so I downloaded from the Microsoft site Windows 10 ISO (USB setup)Unfortunately Windows 10 did not recognised the SSD and asked for a driver.

I have tried the same with Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 and they both recognised the SSD and work both very fast with the SSD.

I also tried to update the firmware of the SSD but the ISO (Fissdfut_2.1.5.iso) did not boot. All other ISO's (Linux, Windows ect boot without any problems)

Has anyone a solution for me so that I can install Windows 10?

Thanks in advance.

I have tried to install the 530 series SSD with the raid driver as suggested.

Unfortunately it did not work.

Windows 10 does not recognize the driver or the SSD.

I give it up and will buy a Kingston SSD.

I thought Intel was a good choice, but it was a waste of money and time.

Hello Frank58,

It seems the computer and the SSD are not compatible each other, we do know the SSD should work with no drivers at all, but in your case, it seems more like a computer limitation with this specific model.We understand you have put a lot of effort on this, but seems it's not going to work in this system.Regards,NC
