Temporarily disable the RAID controller in the BIOS or switch it to AHCI mode, then attempt to upgrade Windows. Once successful, re-enable the RAID configuration.

I tried to reply earlier, but it seems that it never saved.
I'm not using the BIOS RAID controller, and my SATA ports are set to AHCI already. The RAID functionality is entirely controlled by the SSD7505s, not the AMD chipset. I'm not sure what to do, here. Thank you for the suggestion!

The RAID isn't set in the regular BIOS, as I am not using the AMD RAID capability, which is limited to a total number of 10 NVME drives on the system. The RAID10 array shows up as a single addressable, non-bootable drive in the BIOS, which it inherits from the BIOS of the dual SSD7505s. My SATA ports are set to AHCI.
