    Windows wants a partition formatted as NTFS


    I currently only have a MAC so after building my new computer I made a USB to install Windows 10 Home.
    Everything was going fine until I received an error which brought me back to the start.
    Once I got back to the page where you select where to install windows, 3 partitions had been made all of them not available to install windows.

    I have included a picture of the error message I first received along with the message I get on Drive 0 Partition 1.

    I'm not sure if I messed something up with the USB or if there is an easy fix but any help would be greatly appreciated.
    ThanksWindows wants a partition formatted as NTFS :)
