When the installation reached the "Where do you want to install Windows" stage. I booted to the USB stick and attempted to install Windows 10.

Then I made a bootable USB stick using Rufus set to GPT and FAT32. I made and ISO image of my Windows 10 OEM CD using ImgBurn. I used diskpart to clean the SSD of all partitions and partition it as GPT. I basically used the method JohnC_21 suggested. I managed to get Windows 10 installed on a GPT partitioned SSD. I will need to look at the manual tomorrow. I am not sure if you have to add boot devices in the UEFI boot manager. Attach the flash drive and tap F12 at boot. Where FreeDos is listed in the dropdown box select iso image, click the icon and browse to the iso file. In the dropdown box select GPT partition scheme. Once the iso is downloaded use it with Rufus to create a bootable USB flash drive. If the drive is not detected then I would download Windows 10 to a bootable USB flash drive using the Media Creation Tool. Create a bootable CD from the iso by right clicking the iso on any Windows 7 or later computer by right clicking and selecting Burn Disk Image.īoot the Partition Wizard Disk and Delete All Partitions.īoot your Windows 10 disk. I would recommend you do a clean install of Windows 10 and not try to convert form MBR to GPT, and I would disable CSM.ĭownload Partition Wizard Bootable. Is there a way to change the partition from MBR to GPT? How do I get Windows 10 to install on a GPT partition on my SSD? During the installation I wasn't presented with an option of HOW to format. My understanding that Windows 10 then should have formatted the SSD as GPT but it didn't. I installed Windows 10 from the DVD drive that was detected as UEFI. The SSD was detected and the DVD drive was detected twice. I inserted the disk and hit F12 to change the boot order. Prior to both installations I verified that in the bios "WIndows 8/10 Features" was set to "Windows 8/10" and verified that "CSM Support" was set to "Enabled" I've tried it with two clean SSD's and both times Windows 10 was installed on a MBR partition.
