Hi,

i format my C drive yasterday and try to install new windows 10 from usb flash drive but when i choose the C drive to install windows on it i got this message "windows cannot be installed to this disk the selected disk has an mbr on efi systems"

i make some research and i found i should use this command: 1)DISKPART - 2)LIST DISK - 3)SELECT DISK Number - 4)CLEAN

but when i type DISKPART i only get 2 partition and i have 3 not 2 like this :78767951_457003005240000_745288623854714880_n.jpg

 

i want to install my windows on Drive 0 Partition 2 so which Disk should i select ?

Hi:

 

If I were you, I would go into the BIOS, enable legacy mode and disable secure boot.

 

See this link for the settings to change.

Then boot from the Legacy USB flash drive instead of the EFI one, and you will be able to install W10 on the MBR partition you want.
