    As everyone here knows, Acer locked the Bios into RAID.

    If I were to remove the drives that come with the computer and just install a single SSD, would I be able to do a fresh install of Windows onto that one drive even if the Bios stays in RAID? Will it try to create a RAID with the 1 terabyte spinning drive?

    Why would Acer lock this? What is the benefit of locking it? Isn't it pretty common for RAID setups to fail?

    Did you ever find a solution to this? I have one coming in this week and want to replace the two SSDs with one large NVMe SSD.
