    Need help with Disk Management - Windows 10 Pro / 2TB Limitations


    If I found the right system, your all-in-one has an "Inglewood" motherboard, which is supposed to be UEFI compatible.

    Your current Win 10 license will support X64.

    My suggestion: start over. Clean install Win 10 X64 on the 5TB HD. Blow away the partitions and let the installer automatically configure it as GPT. You'll get the full use of your 6GB of RAM.

    Thank you all for the feedback , I sent a support request to HP about BIOS update and UEFI compatability , but no response yet. I'll try to blast the partition and start over, downloaded the Windows 10 /64 Bit ISO and try again , I'll keep you all posted on next steps via my old laptop
    Cheers, Thanl you again everyone

    Update 2.28.2016
    Blasted all if the partitions, but it took several steps to even get the 5TB drive back to a factory default setting.
    Used diskpart command line using the Windows 10 Pro -64 OS , but it would not allow me to reset the disk, partitions or volumes as they were already in use.

    Solution : Downloaded Active-Kill Disk
    Created a bootable Linux wipe drive utility to reset all of the sectors bits to "0"
    Thus once completed you have a 5TB disk drive with entire drive unallocated
    * BTW the utility is freeware , took approx 8.5 hours to complete

    Once the 5TB drive was reset , performed a clean install of the Win10-Pro/64 OS
    Again no option to use the entire disk only maximum of 2TB

    SOLUTION:
    Going to Fry's today and just buy a 2TB drive, appears problem is with BIOS as it must not support GPT

    Thank you all again for your suggestions and thoughts
    Cherers,
    John
