Please note, his native language is not English, so it might be a bit difficult to understand some of what is written.  That's not a derogatory comment towards him at all.  He can speak and write more languages than me, so that makes him a very smart person.  Anyway, here's the gist of what to do.

**From [https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/intel-rst-rste-drivers-latest-v17-11-2-1004-whql-v8-0-0-3300/13801 this page], download the "official" (IE, unmodified) Intel Drivers for the appropriate chipset
**'''"Certificate File" and Modified Drivers''' from here: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/modded-intel-ahci-and-raid-drivers-digitally-signed/19691
**From this page, download the Modified Driver Package that contains the "Drivers+Software" (with Software = to the Intel Rapid Storage Technology GUI / User Interface ( AKA IAStorUI ) )
**'''"Official" (IE, unmodified) Intel Drivers''' for the appropriate chipset from here: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/intel-rst-rste-drivers-latest-v17-11-2-1004-whql-v8-0-0-3300/13801

*Install the Certificate following these instructions: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/tips-discussion-usage-of-mod-signed-drivers/31158#msg15574
*Install the drivers: Don't just run the program from the "official" Intel Drivers package, unzip / unRAR it and manually install the drivers located in the Drivers Folder
*Install the drivers: Don't just run the program from the "official" Intel Drivers package, unzip / unRAR it and manually install the drivers located in the Drivers Folder
*Install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Software GUI / User Interface ( AKA IAStorUI ): Don't just run the "modified" setup.exe file.  Instead open a command prompt (in Admin Mode) and run this command: setup -nodrv (installs the Intel Rapid Storage Technology GUI / User Interface ( AKA IAStorUI ), without installing the drivers)

NOTE: I do not have an explanation for why there are different driver versions on different pages for the "Official Intel Driver" Packages.  That's a question for Fernado.  Possibly due to him differentiating between RST, RSTE (Intel Enterprise RAID), and RST(e) (Fernando's term).
NOTE2: Fernando uses a term, RST(e), which is what he designates as RST drivers version 11.5 and up.  It is not the same as RSTe (Enterprise Version) that Intel uses to designate their "Enterprise" level RAID drivers for Enterprise RAID.
