Windows 10: Re-Installing Windows 10

I have a Dell 15 3000 series laptop that had a 450 gig hard drive. I also have Compaq Presario laptop with a bad 450 gig hard drive.

I removed the drive from the Dell and replaced it with a 2 Tb drive and re-installed Windows 10 with no problems.

As there was nothing wrong with the drive from the Dell, I installed it in the Compaq in place of the bad drive.

The Compaq did a startup self check on the drive and found it 100%.

However, when I try to re-install Windows 10 on the Compaq, I get a message that "Windows can't be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"

And yet it was running Windows 10 v 1903 quite happily in the Dell!

What's to be done?

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?
