    First "MOIN" @all - nice to be part of the community now!



    I hope you can help me with the following problem:


    I tried Windows 10 today newinstall not upgrading to my computer
    on which Windows 7 was running before.


    Unfortunately, there was no installation prozess goes on up to formatting.

    "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one."


    I have already disconnected all hard drives except for the system SSD but unfortunately it did not work either.


    Could it be a formatting and partitioning problem?

    If so, Gparted should be a good program, but what exactly should I do?


    I have never been faced with this problem and I am totally desperate .... I would be very happy if you could help me !!!



    Thank you very much *Smile

    :)
