In my case I have an M.2 PCIe NVMe(which does NOT show up in BIOS in SATA mode), and only need to switch my BIOS temporarily from SATA to RAID(chipset contains the needed IRST drivers, but needs to be set to RAID to use them) to install Win10(then the disk also will show up in BIOS).
PCIe NVMe is a SCSI disk and Win10 has basic NVMe drivers(later I install the Samsung ones). After install I can go back to BIOS and switch to SATA if I want.

By the way, just using RAID drivers, without setting a RAID up, works just fine, you then don't need NVMe drivers(already tested it once).
But Dick, just to expand on what you need to do:
For F6 driver injection: http://download.intel.com/support/ch...user_guide.pdf (start at 5.2)
5.2 F6 Installation Method
The F6 installation method requires a 3.5” diskette with the driver files.
5.2.1 Automatic F6 Diskette Creation
To automatically create a diskette that contains the files needed during the F6 installation process, follow these steps:
1. Download the latest F6 Driver Diskette utility from Download Center: Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 2. Run the .EXE file. 3. Follow all on-screen prompts.
Note: Choose either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, depending on your operating system.
5.2.2 Manual F6 Diskette Creation
To manually create a diskette that contains the files needed during the F6 installation process, follow these steps:
1. Download the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology and save it to your local drive (or use the CD shipped with your motherboard which contains the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology). Note: The Intel® Rapid
Storage Technology can be downloaded from Download Center at Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)
2. Extract the driver files at the command prompt by running the following command: {filename} –A -P {path} Example: IATA_CD_10.6.0.1022.EXE –A –P C:\TEMP
3. The following directory structure will be created:
\Drivers \x32 \x64
4. Copy the IAAHCI.CAT, IAACHI.INF, IASTOR.CAT, IASTOR.INF, IASTOR.SYS, and TXTSETUP.OEM files to the root directory of a diskette.
Note: If the system has a 32-bit processor, copy the files found in the \x32 folder; if the system has a 64-bit processor, copy the files found in the \x64 folder.
5.2.3 F6 Installation Steps
To install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver using the F6 installation method, complete the following steps:
1. Press F6 at the beginning of Windows setup when prompted in the status line with the „Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver‟ message.
2. After pressing F6, nothing will happen immediately; setup will temporarily continue loading drivers and then you will be prompted with a screen to load support for mass storage device(s). Press S to „Specify Additional Device‟.
3. Enter> key. Refer to the Automatic F6 Diskette Creation section above for instructions.
4. Select the RAID or AHCI controller entry that corresponds to your BIOS setup and press Enter. Note: Not all available selections may appear in the list; use the up and down arrow keys to see additional options.
5. Press Enter to confirm.
Windows setup will now continue. Leave the diskette in the diskette drive until the system reboots itself because Windows setup will need to copy the files again from the diskette. After Windows setup has copied these files again, remove the diskette so that Windows setup can reboot as needed.
