I took an SSD out of a Ubuntu box and put it into my new PC. When I try to install Windows it says that it can't be installed because it has an MBR table, and Windows only works on GPT disks.

If I boot up Ubuntu from a USB, how can I go about removing all traces of Ubuntu from the drive so it can be used for Windows install?

I don't need to protect any files or do anything fancy - just put it back the way I got it. Please tell me there is 1 magic button that fixes it!

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
