    Unable to update due to unsupported UEFI layout


    Hello! My windows 10 is on version 1709. When I try to update , it says my UEFI layout is unsupported. I don't really know what this mean.

    I have a G7 7588. When I first got it, the biggest hard drive wasn't installed correctly and I had to send it back to the company for over a week to get it fixed. I'm scared something went wrong with this, and this unsupported EUFI thing is because of that.

    Is there anyway to make it right without resetting my hard drives? I have a lot of big games and stuff that would take a long time to reinstall and honestly I'm a little impatient!

    :)

  2. Cannot upgrade due to unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware


    You do not have a GPT partition table.

    "When you deploy Windows to a UEFI-based device, you must format the hard drive that includes the Windows partition by using a GUID partition table (GPT) file system. Additional drives may use either the GPT or the master boot record (MBR) file format."

    To reinstall windows, you will need to delete all the partitions on your drive, and install on the unallocated drive, that way windows can make its own partitions it needs to run.

  3. Cannot upgrade due to unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware


    I think that the OP has previously changed the disk partition table to MBR (Master Boot Record) and for this reason the ESP partition (300 MB) appears in the partition list.

    SOURCE: The Windows 7 & 8 GPT 'Protective' MBR and EFI Partitions

    One quick way to determine if a disk is GPT partitioned is to use the List Disk command of the "DISKPART" tool under a Command Prompt (may require Administrator rights). Simply enter the commands shown in GREEN below. If any attached disk has been GPT partitioned, an asterisk (*) will appear under the "Gpt" column; as shown in YELLOW for Disk 0 below:
