Windows 10: Removing drives without breaking RAID

Question...

I've a Western Digital 4-bay NAS with 4 HDD drives running in RAID 10 (1+0). The system has been running non stop for over a year now and I'm looking to do some dust maintenance.

So my question - If I remove and reinstall each drive at a time for cleaning purposes will I break the RAID?

Not an expert on this so...

Thanks.

Remove Raid-0 and reinstall windows 10

I have recently bought this laptop: Here.

Unfortunately, it comes with two 256 GB SSD's in Raid 0. I do not want this, so I will break the raid configuration.

HOWEVER, because Windows is installed on this configuration, it will break as well. How do I reinstall windows with the least amount of hassle?
Here's my current plan:

1. Create a recovery drive through windows 10.
   
2. Boot into BIOS, and delete the raid 0 configuration.
   
3. Shut down the computer, and then remove one of the hard drives.
   
4. Boot up from USB.
   
5. Clean install windows.
   

Is this fool-proof? Is there anything else I should do?
Thank you.
