Windows Can Only Be Installed To GPT Disk
Nov 28, 2015
I buy this laptop ROG GL552JX-DM019D together with Microsft Windows 10 Home English 64bit License OEM DVD . I tried to install the OS with Windows 10 from the DVD, but I could not, because after I typed the serial number of the DVD with OS , I received the following message:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disk. Windows cannot be installed to this disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.".

Trying to dual boot build 10130 iso on a fresh install of 8.1. Received a message:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style"
Laptop is an Asus x550c.
System recovery to Asus factory default.
Asus has a default 4 Partition setup. I added a 5th, Partition 6, by shrinking Partition 4
Looks something like this:
Drive 0 Partition 3 128MB MSR (Reserved)
Drive 0 Partition 4 OS 395GB Primary
Drive 0 Partition 5 451MB Recovery
Drive 0 Partition 6 New Volume 48GB Primary
Drive 0 Partition 7 Restore 20GB Recovery
I'm using the new Build 10130 iso which just came out.I don't want to use a VM like I have on a Desktop.

I keep getting an error when I install Windows 7. I want to install Windows 7 alongside Windows 10. windows cannot be installed to this disk the selected disk is of the gpt partition style
I read solutions to this and most of them write I must format my entire hard drive, but I can't do that because that would mean losing all my data.

i got the windows 10 upgrade from windows update, downloaded it and installed it. went to microsoft website downloaded windows 10 to put onto a usb drive. before performing a clean install i partitioned my drive and dropped around 230gb of stuff on it (967gb total drive, partitioned 280). when i tried to format the drive i encountered this issue
"windows cannot be installed to the disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table. on efi systems, windows can only be installed to gpt disks.".
I don't know if the problem is my hdd or my usb drive or my bios. i tried deleting the partition and then pressing new but i continue to get the same error. i tried looking around but i cant make any sense of the posts with this error being solved. one of the posts says to change usb efi to gpt in bios but i dont think that option is in my bios (i can post a picture of bios if needed). another option is to clean the entire disk with cmd but i dont want to lose the other partition.

I recently installed windows 10 on my HP stream 7 and after some driver updates everything works fine except for the store: it's just not there. Some apps came pre-installed and run normally, but some are shortcuts to downloads form the Windows Store and, when clicked, give me the pop-up message "You'll need a new app to open ms-windows-store."

I have got part way through the installation process and I received this message ..
"Windows 10 cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GP disks."
This is a new install onto a new laptop with only FreeDos. How to get past this message.

I currently have windows 7 on my 1TB hard drive and have recently bought a new 256gb Crucial SSD (but not installed it in my desktop yet).
I bought the SSD to be able to install games onto it so they load quicker but also if possible to have my OS booting from it so my computer loads quicker from switching on.
Someone put me onto the idea of using a program called Steam Mover to be able to move games from my HDD to the SSD without having to uninstall them and then re-download them direct to the SSD. I understand this can also be used for other programs like photoshop etc too.
I want to upgrade to Windows 10 but don't want to have to do a clean install and lose all the programs that i currently have installed such as Photoshop, Office, iTunes etc. Is it possible to somehow upgrade my OS on my HDD but then actually boot from the SSD perhaps by using the Steam Mover program?
If not, do I just have to bite the bullet and accept that I will either lose or have to reinstall a number of programs to my HDD? I do have a second 1TB HDD which is empty at the moment in case its needed for cloning files?

I just updated my windows 7 to 10 but for the second time but now when I restart my PC it let me choose a operating system (2X windows 10 options).
If I select the right one my PC just starts but when i pick the other one its says i need to insert a usb/cd, so no OP system on there ?
How I can remove the second windows 10 on my PC?

I am trying to get the little Reserve Windows 10 icon to show up in the taskbar of the new laptop I purchased. After some hunting around, I saw that one of the updates which must be installed is KB2976978. However, it is not being listed on Windows Update, and is not in my list of installed updates either.

So I am currently on the Windows Insider Preview builds and have been having some issues with them and decided that they aren't for me. I was trying to do an upgrade installation to get back onto stock Windows 10 without losing anything but any time I get the installer running I am not allowed to select the option to keep all my stuff because "Windows may be installed in an unsupported directory." I have looked around and it talks about changing the default program files directory in the registry and to revert that back, but I never did that tweak in the first place.

I've lately been trying to upgrade to windows 10, which is available for free. Since I have been using windows 7 for more 2.5 year on my desktop computer, I thought that now was a good time to do a fresh reinstall of windows from 7 to 10.
So I did a backup of all my important data to an external HDD, so they're all safe. I then tried to make a true clean install following this guide: [URL] ....
Then this happened : [URL] ....
My computer:
Core i7 4770K
Asus Z87-Pro
16 gb ram
2x GTX 780 SLi
2x Samsung 850 250 gb SSD's (no RAID)
Corsair AX850W PSU

Windows 10 x64
As I have multiple retail license keys, I am unsure which one is in use right now.
There are 3rd party key finders that may show the key in use, but I prefer to obtain the key using Windows own tools, if possible. For instance using a CMD.(Am uncertain about these 'key finders': can they be trusted?)

For a particular program(Microsoft office/Driver Booster) it says "Windows cannot find <program path>.Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." even if it is installed properly.

I have run Avast Register Cleanup, that also did not solve the problem.

I have recently bought Windows 10 for my new PC and I do not have an optical drive. I am not sure how to put it onto a USB drive so I can install it from that. I've looked all over but I can't find a solid way to do it. I also only have a iMac as another computer so I'm not sure if it will affect how to put Windows 10 onto the USB drive. I need the most specific instructions that you can give me.

I have upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Now, my C drive is almost full with 714GB occupied by "System and reserved". I was in an assumption that, Windows 10 was suppose to take less space.

I'm running windows 10 with 8GB of RAM, an Intel i5, an ASRock z77 Extreme 4 mobo, and a Radeon Sapphire 7950 HD. All of the sudden when I boot up my computer it is extremely slow and I found out that my disk usage was 100%. None of the processes in task manager show any usage that would warrant even 5% disk usage.
I looked up some guides and disabled Superfetch and Windows Search in services.msc then restarted my pc. That didn't work even though they are still disabled. I let it sit there for 10 or so minutes and the disk usage went back to normal at <5%. It turns out that if I hit the windows key or press the windows button in the bottom left it won't work and it just makes my disk usage go back up and within 15 seconds it is back to normal.
Why my disk usage is so high on startup and why the windows key won't work/makes me use 100% of my disk?

I know I need to disable secure boot in order to change the boot sequence. I ran into an issue trying to install Windows 10 on a GPT partition - it said it couldn't do it. So...after much searching, i learned (??) i need to use diskpart to clean the partitions to create one large unallotted space which would then allow me to install Windows. My question is, can i convert the disk to mbr and install Windows to it that way and run it in that mode. If i can do that, what would be the command to do that? > convert mbr after the clean command?? What about enabling secure boot?? Can i do that if i have installed Windows under MBR rather than GPT?

I have an SSD (This PC) for Windows, HDD (secondary disk) for files and whatnot. Running Windows 10 64-bit Home.
I saw that you could move apps to another disk through Apps & features in Settings, so I decided to try it out.
I moved an app to my secondary disk, and it cluttered up with like 3 folders (my personal folder, WindowsApps, wpsystem). Changed my mind on this, and moved the app back to my SSD.
I tried deleting the extra folders left over...only to find out that WindowsApps can't be deleted on my secondary disk.
So, basically:
WindowsApps is completely empty on my secondary disk. I tried taking ownership, tried Unlocker, tried the administrator account, tried changing security options. They were all denied access, what to do next.
Am I stuck with this empty WindowsApps folder on my secondary disk?
