@thadoctur,

 You need to add Intel RST driver to your Windows installation usb drive to detect the storage drive. Please see the post below for the details.

Four Partitions but none can't be installed. States: Bitlocker Drive encyption is enabled on Primary drive. Other drives drive is not NTFS. Need help. Thanks

You need to delete each of all the partitions that are on the screen, whether they are FAT32, NTFS or encrypted partition. When you delete all of them, you'll see "disk 0 unallocated space," then click Next. The installation setup will then create new partitions and proceed to install necessary files on them.

Let us know if you still have a problem.

One partiton remains title" Drive 1 Unallocated space and it won't delete." Or allow to check Next  to continue. Thanks

Ok so you had four partitions on the screen and deleted all of them. Now you see "Drive 1 Unallocated space"?  You mean disk 1 unallocated space? Unallocated space is not a partition so you cannot delete it. 

If your laptop has only one storage drive and the setup displays "disk1(not disk 0) unallocated space," then go ahead click Next. The setup should proceed to install Windows.

If you still have a problem, post back with a screenshot of the displayed screen and your laptop's model number or product number.

The process worked Windows is downloading. Thank you so much. You're a Master. You saved me a lot from the Geek Squad estimate I recieved.
