If your PC is UEFI-compatible, you are able to install Win on GPT-style partitioned drive. Otherwise choose MBR (and don't do a secure boot).
In that first case, you have to do this:

(once install will launch, press SHIFT + F10) and in command line write:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (# means your disk number to install Windows)
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary size=300
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
assign letter="T"
create partition efi size=100
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="S"
create partition msr size=128
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
assign letter="W"

-----
After that close command line & refresh your drives and Win should install.
