I am attempting to install windows 10 to ONE crucial mx500 m.2 drive on slot m.2_1 on my Asus Prime x470-pro motherboard. In the process of doing so, I am trying to setup a RAID10 with my 6 sata ports for storage. I have followed every post I could find on this subject, and have been unable to successfully install windows 10 unless I put sata > AHCI mode, in which case, I'm unable to setup the RAID. I have tried with NVMe RAID > Enabled as well as Disabled. When enabled, I try to load the amd drivers for raid during windows installation, putting the first one, bottom, in, then rcraid the second time, but none of my drives ever show up.
After successfully installing Windows 10 to the m.2 while in SATA > AHCI, I've attempted to then reboot from windows, change to SATA > RAID, at which time, in the boot section of the bios, the windows boot manager with the m.2 drive listed disappears. I still have an option called "windows boot manager", and also an option that specifies the crucial drive, but when trying to boot with either of those, I get the "no operating system found" error message. Rebooting and returning SATA to the AHCI option returns the ability to boot, along with the windows boot manager m.2 option that actually boots the system.
I've attempted the whole CSM > Disabled options I came across, with no success.
Any suggestions on how to configure these bios settings in order to have a non-raid bootable M.2 drive, along with RAID10 set of 6 hard disk drives? I've run out of options and suggestions and thoughts on how to accomplish this mission. Thank you in advance for any insight and suggestions that may assist me in getting this done!

PS.... When setting up the raid10, even with nvme raid mode disabled, the crucial m.2 drive shows up anyway in the raid configuration utility. I have done nothing with the drive, I've tried putting it as a VOLUME in the raid configuration utility. No matter what I do, I'm unable to find the m.2 drive to install windows on, or, to boot windows from.
