    I can't install W10. It says my disk is not valid.


    Hi,

    I never saw something like this. It says that there is someproblem with my disk, in all of the partitions.

    I can't remember the exact message, but it was something with an acronym such as GTMP problem.

    This laptop is one year old, runs 8.1 and have installed lots of times Windows or Linux in it.

    The iso copy is fine, the problem has to be another.

    Thanks.

    :)

    excess validation

    Absolutely no luck, ended up buying another w7 OEM home premium and installing it. At least that "activated", A lot of money and time for virtually nothing.

    PS: Mon Aug 3rd, 2015 - still no W10 install.....

    I can't install W10. It says my disk is not valid.

    Quote from this post: UEFI Boot Mode (installing using the GPT partition style) and Legacy BIOS Boot Mode (installing using the MBR partition style). -> link
