Windows 10: Recent New Install of Windows 10 Home broke my RAID drive

My long story is too long; I could share it to anyone interested. This is the short story and it's still long: My configuration is a system drive and applications on C: an SSD and a RAID 1 drive 2 WD 6 TB drives on D: for my data.

• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

 

Raid 1 broken after Windows 10 install
