How to install Windows 10 on FreeDOS HP Probook 450 G4

[Markjohnabo]

Hi.
I hope someone would help me with my problem since I don't know alot about installing Windows on new laptop.

I bought HP Probook 450 G4 and it is FreeDOS.
I also bought Windows 10 Pro yesterday.

I just wanna know how can I install the OS to my laptop smoothly and without problems cause I don't want to void the warranty of it.

Please help me from the start of the process.
Thank you.

God bless all.

first you need to change from mbr to GPT (but this deletes all files and folders, settings).. only good for a new installation - or backup before starting this action.

convert to gpt-this is done at the stage of entering the windows key, i.e at this stage you will press shift+f10 to start a command prompt.

then follow procedure of changing mbr to GPT. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725671(v=ws.11).aspx

Once done, enter your key, go ahead and instal

Hello @Markjohnabo

Are you still needing help with your windows 10 installation?

If you use the current Create media Windows 10 download, you will get the most recent version of Windows 10 that you would put to a USB flash drive for the installer. Do this from another Windows computer.

Then you can delete all the previous partitions of DOS at the begining of the installation by selecting Custom install. It will install Windows formatted as GPT automatically. You just need to have Secure Boot enabled in the bios when installing.

Let me know if you have questions.
