I have a newly built PC with Win7 Pro 64 bit on the C: Drive which is a PCIE M.2 one. It works and I have loaded a few apps to the C: Drive. I now want to move a pair of matching 1gig drives to this PC. i have multiple back ups of them, so I hopefully can negate any whoopsies, but can I now go into the new BIOS on a different model same make (Gigabyte) LGA1151 bord and set up RAID1 before dding the already RAID1 pair, or should I break the RAID, format them, and then create a new RAID1 before restoring their dta? I hope I am being clear enough for anyone to follow my thought pattern, and I know some here feel RAID on Win7 is a waste of time, but it's worked fine for several years including recreating the RAID after one drive croaked, but the older Gigabyte board is showing issues. Thanks.
