Detailed Description

Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology (Intel(R) RST) installation for 12th to 15th Gen Platforms

Note: Intel recommends that end users utilize driver updates provided by their system manufacturer/provider or via Windows* Update to eliminate the potential impact caused by loading non-customized drivers. System manufacturers regularly customize Intel generic drivers to meet the needs of their specific system design. In such cases, use of the Intel generic driver update is not recommended.

The SetupRST.exe is the new installer that will install the Intel RST driver and start the process of installing the Intel Rapid Storage Management Application from the Microsoft Store*
