Dual Boot Windows 10 on RAID 0 and Arch on HDD

Hey there, I don't typically create posts of my own in there but I'm starting to get a bit desperate. basically, I want to dual boot Windows 10 (installed on 2 SSDs in RAID 0) and Arch Linux (installed on a separate HDD). Both of the OSs are installed in UEFI mode and Windows was installed first. I get that I have to mount my windows partition to Arch in order to os-prober to detect it but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of this and I keep getting weird errors whenever I try. I've been on this for 2 weeks now. Here's a few additional info that I belive could help you. I have a total of 4 hard drives in this machine. The RAID array on which Windows is installed is labeled /dev/md126. The HDD on which Arch is installed is /dev/sdb.

I installed the ntfs-3g package but I honsetly don't know which partition I'm supposed to mount and whenever I try to mount the EFI Windows one (which I guessed was the one I need to mount), I keep getting errors about either that my Windows is hibernated (I made sur it wasn't by going into the power options) or that my partition is not in NTFS or broken, it's not broken. I don't know anymore.

Thank you guys!
