Windows 10: clean windows 10 ,do i need to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology?

my OS is installed on SSD games and data installed on hdds
I want to clean install windows 10
do I need to install Intel® Rapid Storage Technology ?
if yes do I need first to install
all of my motherboard drivers and then install Intel INF installation ?

:)

 

Windows 10 extremely slow to boot up

POSSIBLY SOLVED:

I had the same issue for like two weeks, tried everything i found on websites to increase boot speed, to no avail.

finally did clean install, and still the same problem

i have a dell inspiron 15z with a 500gb hdd and 32gb ssd

so i realized after clean installing windows 10 my intel rapid START was no longer installed. messed around a lot on the internet, and finally downloaded the intel rapid STORAGE for windows 10 from Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)
under os choose windows 10 64bit or 32bit depending on your pc. made sure the intel Rapid STORAGE was seeing my ssd and was accelerated. restarted and booted up to desktop in NINE SECONDS!!!!! just to be ultra safe i also installed the intel rapid START
from Download Intel® Rapid Start Technology (even tho it doesnt say for windows 10)

I guess windows wasnt booting from my ssd without intel rapid storage. works awesome now, can finally say i like windows 10 now

Hope this helps some of u

ps im not very computer savvy, but i think this fix is for people with series 7 intel chipsets and above, and also a ssd

 

DVD drive not recognized by windows 10

Try the following.

First install the latest Intel® Chipset Device Software (should install on Windows 10) :

Download Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)

The install the latest Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver:

Download Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) User Interface and Driver

 

Its not really needed much anymore, I would do your clean install without it 1st, then check on how your Windows runs. I uninstalled mine right after our Anniversary Update. Have had no problems.

 

I have only the driver installed, not the complete package with the application.
Still the old rule remains the same, first the chipset drivers (INF files), then the rest

By seeing your System Spec, My Suggestion is to stick with Lenovo Smart Assistant because Not all Intel Drivers are Universal some Drivers are custom build
if you are using some other Brand Laptop/Desktop you should install your particular Assistant Software

 

If you refer to my specs, the only Lenovo app which is running on my notebook is the Energymanager.
All others are upgraded to the latest drivers. Lenovo and other manufacturers are too slowly until they offer updates (if they do) because they all have a very long approval process.
And most drivers are equal to what the manufacturers offer like Intel, Realtek and so on.
Beside, I plan to make a new clan setup of my notebook and Redstone expects now new certified drivers (which Lenovo doesn't offer)

Couldn't agree more
it takes forever to get an update by manufacturers
but on my HP laptop I can't update my Graphic Drive from the Intel it gives an Error by saying you have a Custom Graphic Driver and on HP forum thy replied saying HP Graphic is customized for better battery life

 

I have a HP notebook at work, I know what you mean.
However, it is not true that their drivers are optimized for better battery life. When you compare the driver package for the graphics from HP and Intel, you will find they are identical. Maybe the INF file contains less entries, but the binaries are the same.
Good news, you can force manually the update by device manager and INF file, after that the restriction is gone.
