I have made a Scandisk Ultra SSD NTFS file format and GPT compatible. When I put it back in the laptop and try to install the windows 10 iso file it tells me that it either can't format the partition for windows set up and get error code 0x80070057 or when I bring up the Windows setup it has Disk 0 partition 1 as an MSR reserved disk Disk 0 partition 2 as Primary and disk 0 partition 3 as a primary as well. Could the Motherboards chip sets need to be updated? Please give me some ideas I am according to other sites setting the solid state drive up correctly, I've tried two different drives giving me the same results. The SSD drivers have been updated so I know they aren't the issue.

I don't recommend you do anything to the disk.
Make sure you are booting the W10 installation media from the (U)EFI USB flash drive, not the legacy one.
When you are at the point where you get an error run the Diskpart utility to clean the disk.
- Press Shift+F10 from inside Windows Setup screen to open a command prompt window.
- Type diskpart and press the Enter key.
- Type list disk to find your disk number.
- Type select disk (e.g., select disk0) to choose the disk you want to format.
- Finally, type clean to wipe the disk completely.
- Exit diskpart and install Windows.
