"Run, don't walk, AWAY from the service center at this location. I'm stunned at how little they knew about fixing a keyboard on a Dell laptop. \n\nIt took them a week to misdiagnose the problem.

After all the process it ended up here: "windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware". I am so confused because it is running Windows 10 like 15 minutes ago, I just needed a clear install.

The proper way to do what you want is to back up the data on the current array and restore it on the new system. Unless you are using a hardware RAID controller you cannot just move the drives from one machine to another. And as already put to you, RAID is NOT a backup of ANY kind, it is only for data availability in those situations where it must be online and available 24/7 and the home ...
