@Fctango 

Your model PC did not come with Windows 10 preloaded; instead, it came with Windows 7 or FreeDOS.

 

You have to change your SATA settings to AHCI to install Windows 10.  

 

You need to do the following:

1) Boot into the BIOS/UEFI settings (pressing F10 repeatedly while rebooting)

2) Select Storage options

3) Change the SATA emulation to AHCI mode

4) Save the settings and exit.
