  3. Getting error: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style

    I am trying to reinstall Windows 10 on my friends machine from bootable USB. Following is what I have done till now:

    • I created bootable USB using Windows 10 ISO and Rufus with GPT Partition schema for UEFI computer option selected. Also I ensured that I formatted it with FAT32.

    • Machine was not detecting bootable USB drive. All it was showing in its boot menu is this:
      windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style iNGdP.png


      So I enabled legacy mode:


      windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style IRH6o.png

      and it started showing bootable USB drive in its boot menu:
      windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style h5DVG.png


    • So I continued to installing Windows 10. However when selected partition in which Windows 8 was installed, it said Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
    That means partition in which Windows 8 is installed is of type of GPT type. Also my bootable USB drive is of GPT type. Then, why it is not allowing to install?
