    Reinstalling W10 on a GPT disk from a USB boot disk


    Why use Rufus?

    On a Windows computer insert the flash drive. Open a command prompt and run:

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk # <-replace the # with the actual number for the USB flash drive.
    clean <- this will completely erase the selected disk above, make sure it is the USB flash drive.
    convert mbr
    create part pri
    format fs=fat32 quick
    active
    exit
    exit

    Then mount the Windows 10 ISO file and copy all the files and folders from the mounted ISO file to the USB flash drive.

    In order to install Windows 10 to a GPT partitioned hard drive or SSD, the installation media must be booted in UEFI mode.
