Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.
As I understand you are getting the error-"The Partition is not GPT",
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824
(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
Are you also getting the error message-"Boot device not found"?
Which Operating System are you attempting to install?
Did you know HP doesn't recommend or support the installation of a retail copy of Windows?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to know:
