Windows 10: Installing Windows 10 giving me fits

Yesterday I went over to a friends home (my computer guru's) and we installed Windows 10 Home. It had a few minor glitches and we thought we had solved those. When I got home things went from bad to worse. I can NOT even describe what all it was doing.

When it booted up, the only thing on the main screen was the background image installed during installation. There was NOT even a Recycle bin icon. On the task bar there were several icons. When I clicked on say "Edge", it seems to open but did NOT show on the screen. I had no idea how to fix this so I decided to reinstall Windows again.

At some point during the install I got the following error message

Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. n EFI systems, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks.

I did a search and found what I think is a fix for that, but not really sure. It is located at the following link:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table - YouTube

I am not sure if this is common problem or not. According to that link it is a lengthy process and fairly complicated. If anyone has better suggestions I am open to any possibilities.

BTW the computer has two hard drives. The Primary is a single partition drive, and secondary hard drive has 3 (data) partitions.

If I can think of anything else I will add to this post. I hope someone has reasonable explanation for this even.

Thanks

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
