Tried storeahci to enable AHCI on Win 8 or 10?

Has anybody tried to use "storeahci" to enabled AHCI on Windows 8.1 or 10? Looks better than hacking the boot sector, which I have done in the past but dropped due to hassles with failed reboots.

storahci is set to zero anyway with the default ATA/IDE Bootcamp driver.

People appear to think there's no AHCI driver loaded in Bootcamp. This isn't true. Connect any SSD drive to a SATA card and you will see AHCI driver is always loaded, it's never disabled. It's just that with the boot drive in bay 1 or 2 the AHCI calls are being converted to ATA/IDE but the speed of the interface is the same as a normal AHCI, maybe with a little overhead.

Here you can see the default setting on fresh Bootcamp install is set to zero. You don't need to fiddle with it.

Thanks. I will keep things simple!
