Enable SSD acceleration after Windows 8.1 already installed ?

[SONei]

Built a DIY gaming desktop and would like to enable SSD acceleration caching. Can't seem to find anything that indicates whether it's possible to do AFTER Windows has already been installed.

Can this be done ? If so, how ?

Thanks

Apparently this is possible. It's just not readily apparently nor documented well from what I've found. I did a bunch of searching today and found this:

Very bottom of that post is a link to here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2751461 Changing the ATA Drive setting in System Bios causes reboot loop on Windows 8

Even though that is written for going from ATA to AHCI mode .. guess what .. the process works for Windows 8.1 installed in AHCI mode and post-install changing over to RAID mode.

I now have a SSD accelerated Windows 8.1 DIY machine
