# RAID Reinstallation

## <mark style="color:purple;background-color:red;">REQUIREMENTS</mark>

1. A USB with 8GB of storage space (32GB Max)
2. A little bit of handiness, and a little knowledge about PCs

### THIS WAY OF REINSTALLING <mark style="color:$success;background-color:$success;">IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!</mark>

**🌟 Easiness: 7/10 Doable, not hard | Takes max 15 Minutes.🕒**

<details>

<summary><strong>WHY IS THIS</strong> <mark style="color:$success;">HIGHLY RECOMMENDED?</mark></summary>

The reason this reinstallation method is recommended, especially for those with multiple HWID bans on their PC, is that it also changes your disk drive serials. This is a crucial step and contributes to a nearly <mark style="background-color:green;">**99% success rate for spoofing.**</mark>

### <mark style="background-color:red;">HOW TO REINSTALL & SPOOF DISKS (BYPASS DISK BAN)</mark>

After creating a Windows 10 USB and placing the correct RAID Drivers onto your USB, you can now RAID. This will format your drive, meaning everything on the disk will be deleted, backup any files you do not want to lose before you raid.

**NOTE:** When reinstalling Windows, most modern systems will automatically detect and install basic Ethernet drivers, so your connection will work fine after the installation. ✅&#x20;

<mark style="color:$warning;background-color:$warning;">**In some cases, you may need to manually download and install network drivers.**</mark>&#x20;

Make sure to download your network drivers (LAN) from your corresponding motherboard model. So, for example, "Asus B550 Network drivers" on Google, and put them in the USB drive. You can skip this step since this is just a precaution, but there is a small risk of no connection after reinstallation. 🌐
