Can't put win10 on my ssd

When it asks you to select the drive can you delete the current partition and let the installer create + format another partition, that should then create it's own MBR?
 
Sounds like you haven't deleted the old partitions on it, you need to remove all of them before or whilst installing W10.

I'd of thought that but no, it's been formatted and reallocated it's disk space. It was ready to go. Beyond me why it's playing up.

I should have wrote it down but it did say something about only gtd disks only allowed on the board as the op disk. May of been something other than gtd. I have got a 2tb and a 4tb disk installed. Not sure if that is where the problem is.

Just dloading bf1. When I have I will simulate what I did last time and write is down. For you all. Ta for now
 
When your installing Windows no matter the version it's always good practice to only have the drive you want Windows installed on to be the only one plugged in then plug your other drives in after.
 
Sounds like the current disc needs a clean through BIOS as it appears to have kept the MBR (used to have this issue with Win 7 and had the barcodes printed so I just scanned them 1 after the other).

I remember an old program called killdisk that used to run just over the top of the bios, stopping the likes of win7 from getting to boot up. Was very useful for clearing up this kinda stuff if it is that. I shall have a nosy.

Yes to true. I was what's called rushing lol. Idiots numpty trick I know heh
 
Right it says ...windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed on GPT disks

Stumped as what to do?!?

Are you installing Windows from a USB?

Go into the bios & set the drive to legacy. It should then let you format the new SSD & install from there.
 
It says

We couldn't install windows on the location you choose. Please check your media drive. Here's more info on what happened...

You need to delete the partition and leave the SSD utterly blank, so that the Windows installer can create GPT partitions.
 
With the SSD connected boot into Windows, right click on My Computer, click into Manage find & click on Disk management Double check that you know which is the SSD right click on it & delete volume note if the SSD has got a reserved partition do the same with that too. Hopefully that should solve the problem.


 
Start the Windows 10 installer, choose repair instead of install.

Open a command prompt, type diskpart, type list disks, look at which your drive is, probably 0 is there isnt another drive in the system

sel disk 0

clean

exit

setup
