windows 10 Windows 10 installation onto twin M.2 NVME drives setup in Raid 0

[Guest Brett#1964]

I hope someone out there can help me with my issue! I've just completed my first computer build and so far so good. Powered it up, checked out the UEFI Bios and everything is visible and running. I have then followed a You Tube instructional video on how to install Windows 10 on 2 x M.2 NVME SSD drives set up in Raid. Changed the bios settings on my Asus Prime Z270 A motherboard as specified, all good. Now to the problem! Windows 10 doesn't reconise the M.2 drives so as instructed I went to the Intel website and downloaded the latest Rapid Storage Technology drivers onto a separate USB stick (Windows 10 is also being installed from another USB stick). During the Windows 10 installation I choose "Custom Installation" and its here that because the M.2 drives are not listed that I'm supposed to choose to install the 2nd USB drive with the RST driver on it, browse and select the drive with the drivers and download. The issue is that I get a message saying "no signed device drivers found". I know the drivers are on there because I can get them up on my laptop and even install them if I want to. I've tried several USB ports including usb2 and 3.1 but same response. Also when I accidentally choose the wrong drive to browse because I'm not sure which drive(port) the USB stick in (I have about 10) I get an error 0x505 code and have to start the Windows 10 installation again. My build specs are Intel i7 7700k processor, Asus Prime Z270 A motherboard, 4 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz DDR4 Ram, Nvidia Quadro K1200 graphics card, 2x Samsung 960 Pro M.2 NVME SSD 512GB drives setup in Raid (striped), 2x Samsung 850evo SSD 1TB drives setup in Raid (mirrored), Corsair H115i Liquid cooling, Asus PCE-AC88 Dual Band AC3100 Wireless PCI-E adapter, StarTech 5-port usb 3.1 combo card (1× USB-C, 2x USB-A, 2X IDC), Silverstone FP59 multicard reader and finally powered by a Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 1000w 80 plus GPU. I hope some Tech savvy person out there can help me. Regards Brett#1964.
