Intel RAID / RST USER INTERFACE?? [GUI] Windows 10? Where?

great input AL, for which I thank you.
here's what I loaded AFTER the upgrade. No UI
Download Intel RST) RAID Driver

it is the only one, yet, which is Windows 10 cert. The driver did not behave well unless I'm missing something - like removing old files or whatever. as said, with nothing at all going on with the system, with it unplugged from net, the cpu would cycle up every few seconds

you are no doubt right about the chipset support. I don't have it up and running at present but that model used the same Q57 chipset as the prior last-generation-ever Core 2 Duo models.

really, I can't think of a good reason why the old GUI won't load/run if properly installed. I have found on other win 10 installs that programs work pretty good, no matter the generation - there's a way to get compatibility. I just couldn't put my fingers on the install package.

If you're using version 10, it means you're on a older chipset that is not supported in the other versions. My system is 4 years old running on the mobile Sandy Bridge chipset and I can't run anything newer than 12.x as 13.x and 14.x installers would say my chipset is not supported. Basically,

10.x is the last version supporting ICH9.
11.x is the last version supporting ICH7R and ICH7M, ICH9M, ICH10D
12.x is the last version supporting PCH 5 , PCH 6 series, ICH10R (RAID Mode)
13.x is the last version supporting PCH 7 series

10.1.0.1088 is from November 2010 and if you looked, it only supports up to Windows 7, not 8.

10.8.0.1003 was the last 10.x driver which came out in January 2012 so if you chipset is not supported by v11-v14, you're basically SOL:

If you look at this, only 11-14 are really supporting Windows 8 and above:

What is the exact version # of the driver Windows 10 installs?



Mines installs to C:\Program Files and not C:\Program Files(x86)




The Windows Update version doesn't have the GUI but the one where you run the setup.exe program will have the GUI. Previously, I never had the GUI until exactly one month ago because I never installed any Intel drivers other than the chipset INF and figured I updated it as the drivers previously were from 2011.

I got the right skinny from the win-raid.com forum.
which I recommend.

Looking at your link, which one of those files did you download and use? Did you use SetupRST.exe or the zip files, it seems like from the size of the files, the zip files are drivers only while SetupRST.exe would have the UI in it. Which motherboard do you have exactly since it's amazing you can use a version 14 driver while I cannot use anything past 12.x as the installer will exit with a message that it does not support my system since when I installed, I actually started with 14.x which won't install, then 13.x with the same problem until 12.x works. My system being a ASUS G74SX notebook is 4+ years old running a Core i7 and it only works with drivers up to 12.x so I was surprised you can get 14.x drivers working. Try this one:
