RST 9.6--Do I need to reinstall my OS?

I've got Windows 7 installed on two X25-M 80GB SSD's in RAID 0 that shipped with the latest firmware, and the driver it used on install is listed as Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO/5 Series/3400 Series SATA RAID Controller. By my understanding, I need to install RST 9.6 for it to support TRIM in RAID, so is there a painless way to do this, or am I going to have to wipe the drives, install the RST 9.6, and then do a fresh copy of Windows 7?

There is NO TRIM support for RAID when in a RAID volume for SSD's AS OF YET.

if you have Matrix Storage Manager you can install RST 9.6 without reinstalling.
