Solution Someone Somewhere Mar 26, 2016 7 should work, but you may need to install the Intel storage drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloads/eula/22676/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver?httpDown=http%3A%2F%2Fdownloadmirror.intel.com%2F22676%2Fa08%2Ff6flpy-x64.zip Copy them onto a flash drive, and insert it when it asks you where to install to. Follow the prompts.
