as you knew that laptop usually came with Dell Manufacturing default configuration & installation.
Basically I'm looking to clean install windows 10 and configure everything from the beginning by my hand.
I did purchased windows 10 Pro from microsoftstore.com and I did used media creation tool to put the windows on USB.
Then I did restarted the laptop and I pressed F2 there's 2 options for resetting the setting ( first one for bios settings & second one for manufacturing settings ) so I did reset the 2 for the default setting.
then I pressed on F12 and I logged using the USB and I did started the windows 10 installation and during the installation process ( I hadn't found the 32GB SSD driver !! so I did some research from my iPhone and I was able to understand that I should press F12 and log in inside " device configuration " which showing intel rapid storage technology and I did removed the acceleration from both 1tb hdd & 32 ssd and right now the intel rapid storage technology appearing not configured at all.
and then I went ahead and formatted the whole 1tb hdd using the windows 10 installation windows and I did installed it on the 1tb hdd.
my questions here :
1- what is X Driver which appearing if I press on load driver in windows 10 installation windows ?
2- how come that I still see intel rapid storage technology if I pressed f12 and log inside device configuration ? are the intel rapid storage technology and dell support assist is built in with bios or what?
3- what the different in bios screen if I reset bios setting or manufacturing settings ?
4 - how to update Intel rapid storage technology version which appearing inside f12 ?
I need someone which had the same model or had enough experience to tell me how to clean install everything from A To Z. I need to understand the system which I'm using :(
