I have one HDD with around 1TB of data on it.
I also have 3 identical empty HDDs that I would like to add to it and create a RAID 10 setup.
Is there any way to do this without first clearing out the data on the initial HDD?
Or for the next best thing, could I copy the data to two HDD striped, then clear the first one and then make a RAID 10 setup from there?
I am running Windows 10, but any suggestion using Linux tools is also appreciated.
The motherboard is an MSI Z97S.
For clarification, the operating system is running on a different partition, an SSD - so there are no issues there.

Any time we have changed a RAID setup, we have backed up the data, changed the RAID setup and restored the data.
You can get a large capacity USB hard drive. Back up your data, set up RAID and then restore the data.
That is the safest way to do this and prevents data loss.
