intel RST raid 1 preserve data greyed out

Hello, at the moment i'm bit frustrated, my situation looks like this:

 

1. i had intel RST raid 1 (seagate 1TB constelletion x 2 ) setup (in bios set Raid and intel RST), raid 1 was working, but both DRIVES started to fail (realocated sector count and other smart errors).

 

2. I bought new 4TB seagate raid disks

 

3. I removed one old 1Tb hard drive and put in new 4TB hard drive and marked as spare, raid rebuilded with new and old drive

 

4. i removed 1Tb hard drive and resseted 4Tb drive from CTRL-I as non raid drive

 

5. i streched 4Tb raid drive to maximum in disk management (because it is MBR-NTFS not GPT it's not bigger than 2TB...), for now 2Tb enough later i will reinstall server to 4TB and GPT, but i dont know how to proceed...

 

6. i updated server firmware to latest (intel server board 1200bt), and the installed latest intel RST software.

 

what i wan't to accomplish is create RAID from intel RST raid 1 preserving data

but how You see this option is greyed out...

 

And here is screenshot of disk management (i deleted other backups disks to better understand):

if anyone would advise me, what to do? How to build raid1 with preserving data?

 

Should i backup everthing and reinstall windows server with GPT partitions, and then how to restore everything as it was?

 

And here is screenshot from CTRL-I (it was taken before i upgraded intel RST software)
