Windows 10: Problems installing windows 10 Pro on desktop after replacing hard drive

I have installed a replacement Hard Drive on my Acer PC and tried installing Windows 10 Pro using the tool downloaded from the website.

When I select the new hard drive from the list displayed it says it cannot install on this drive because it is GPT Partitioned.

How do I get round this?

Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

Hey Guys,
What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

Any suggestions? *Smile
