Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I try to reinstall windows 10 on my notebook hp.  There was windows 10 installed on it but I want to make a new clean installation.  I downloaded from microsoft the media tool and created a working bootable usb of the windows 10.

 

I put the usb inside the notebook then when booting I press escape and inside go to the boot device option and select to boot from usb hard disk. then it's loading from the usb start the windows 10 setup and then I select custom installation.

 

I saw all the hard disks including the one the windows was installed on and deleted it and formatted it and then selecting the drive 220.1 GB and when i click the next button I'm getting this message:

I'm not sure if to click continue on the ok button to cancel.  for now I did cancel.  

and now I will update that I clicked the OK button and it's installing the windows , but is that ok to do?  the message say the patriation is not recommended.. what should I do then ?.

Hi:

 

The other thing you could have done was to delete every partition on the drive, leaving just one partition of unallocated space.

 

But you should be OK if W10 is installing.
