    Just make sure the BIOS is set to AHCI before installing windows.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Are you trying it when you boot the laptop before the predator logo appears because as soon as u see the predator logo and you see the windows loading circle its too late it has to be right after u hit the power button but if it doesnt work on any mode just install windows normally

    Just install it as normal see where it leads u seems it might not work because the raid was broken and it can't read the hidden acer recovery partition might be able to after the new installation or might even be gone forever if so only way to get it back it;s to send it back for repair so acer can reinstate it

    yes but make sure you uninstall/disable intel rst so the same doesn't happen again and you might also need to download and install all the drivers/apps from acer support website for your model

    You can leave the iRST installed if you want. Just make sure to disable it only if the same pop-ups begin to appear again, which I doubt will happen.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU

    The only thing I can find about Intel is the processor graphics. Is it possible to grab nvidias drivers from my desktop, since it's the same gpu? Or should I download Nvidia from their website?

    That is something new. Probably the RAID array that was created wasn't RAID 0. Go to disk management and there will be unallocated space on the HDD. Right click on the unallocated space and then select create a new simple volume or add simply add the unallocated space to the existing volume.

    There's a 1022MB NTFS partition in the hdd called Recovery. Should I leave it be, or it isn't necessary?

    Se você quer deixar o hd apenas como backup, não há necessidade de manter essas partições. Entretanto, verifique que há uma unidade Acer c:\ e essa partição, contém a partição de recuperação da Acer. Eu recomendo que você não delete essas partições por causa da partição de recuperação da Acer!

    When windows is unable to boot you can open the recovery menu and use the troubleshooting options thanks to this partition. Also, I believe this partition contains the OEM software(only if it is shown as Healthy(OEM partiton)) like predator sense and acer care centre, so even if you factory reset the device you will have predator sense installed by default. I don't know if this partition can be even used now, as you are using a default copy of windows. 

    You have the same recovery partition on the SSD just without the OEM software on it, so you can remove the one from the HDD if you need this 1GB.

    A little question: how do I put those 2 together? I tried using one then expanding it, but it doesn't seem to do the trick
