    the partition is of an unrecognized type

    Hi,

    A noob tried to make windows 10 double bootable with Kali. Messed up with the hard drive guess. Kali couldn't perfectly installed. Tried installing the windows again but it says "windows must be installed to a partition formatted as ntfs windows 10 ", "the partition is of an unrecognized type". I'm running a Dell Inspiron 14 3000 series, core i57th Gen.
    No professional is available amid this lockdown.
    Please help.

    Partition is an unrecognized type error

    mbr2gpt error: Unrecognized partition found, index 2

    Results: I mirrored my C: drive with Macrium, deleted partitions and cleaned it with diskpart. I then converted it to gpt with diskpart, which was successful. I restored the C: drive and changed the boot to UEFI. When I booted back up, sysinfo said it was now booting UEFI (first image), but the drive was still MBR (second image). What is going on, and what should I do now to get the C: drive to gpt?
