Cloning RAID Drive

Thread needs solution

My operating system (Windows 10 Pro) currently is on 2 SSDs using RAID zero. I want to move the op system to a new single SSD that is not using RAID. The instructions for HD Clone indicates that this will not work because the target and destination drives need to be in the same SATA Mode. Am I reading this correctly? What are my options then to move the op system to a non-RAID drive?
Thanks

The most important here is whether the bootable recovery CD sees your RAID0 as a single disk. If it does, you can clone it to another disk. Then disconnect your RAID0 disks, and try to boot the computer on the cloned disk alone.

If the recovery medium sees it as 2 separate disks, you can try to produce a WinPE based disk and see if it makes any difference.

Another approach is to create a backup of the RAID0 from Windows, and then restore this on a single disk (the restore needs to happen from the recovery medium)
