Intel Rapid Storage Technology update SP71616

[Alan29]

I've had this update pending for quite some time now. The problem is that when I try to run the update it it ends up in an Intel screen with the options either to remove or repair. I don't think I want to do either, i want to update.

Any advice?

Hey there! @Alan29, Welcome to HP forums.

I understand that you are unable to update Intel Rapid Technology driver on your PC.

Don't worry I'd like to help.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

As you mentioned when you try to update the driver it is asking you to remove or repair.

Try removing the driver from your PC and install the driver once again on your PC and check if it helps.

If the issue still persists download the latest driver 15.2.0.1020 directly from intel website.

Please find the link to download Intel Rapid Technology driver.

Let me know if this works!

Have a beautiful day ahead! 🙂

Software/Hardware changes - when I first tried to install the driver there was another accompanying update (HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI - SP78590 version 6.3.0.Ap1.0) which was successful.

At the point I remove the driver isn't that going to disable some vital functions which may prevent me from continuing?

Hi! @Alan29, Thanks for your response and time.

Kudos to you for trying out the steps.

Intel Rapid Storage Technology offers greater levels of performance, responsiveness, and expandability than ever before. Whether you are using one or multiple serial ATA (SATA) or PCIe drives, you can take advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption from the latest storage technologies. 

So nothing gets disabled unless you have created a RAID on your PC. You can go ahead and uninstall the driver from device manager and install the latest driver from my previous thread.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂

I'm sorry if it appears I need to be spoon-fed on this issue but that reflects my level of expertise. The forum has kindly elevated my rank beyond my actual ability.

The link to the driver eventually leads me to 4 files, 1 is an exe , the others are zip files.

I have Windows 10 Home 64 bit operating system so I know I can ignore the 32 bit version.

I assume I run the exe file (SetupRST.exe [13.01 mb]), but what do I do with the remaining 2 zip files? (f6flpy-x64.zip [0.44 mb] and SetupRST.zip [12.5 mb])? What purpose they serve?

@Alan29, Thanks for your response and time,

Kudos to you for trying out the steps.

You only have to run the .exe file (Executable file) the zip files may contain the executable file in it or other files required by the .exe file.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
