    GPT or MBR


    Or MBR or GPT
    Asus laptop with 8.1 installed. One disk, 2 partitions.
    I've installed 10 a number of times, VM and dual boot on desktop.

    Went to install 10, dual boot.

    When I got to picking the partition, said "Cannot be installed, selected disk is of the MBR partition type."

    Installed my Aomei Partition Assistant and changed to Disk to GPT.

    Now when I go to select the disk, it says "Cannot be installed, selected disk is of the GPT partition type.

    Now what???

    Windows Installation

    On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. If you use MBR disk, you will receive this error message: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. You can convert MBR to GPT and try it again.

    Thanks,
    I remember somewhere about using "rufus" to load the 10 on a usb. I'll give it a try.
