Hi just bought a new motherboard and cpu and am trying to install windows 8 on it so I can get my free upgrade to windows 10 but when I try to install windows 8 it say windows can not install to this portion because efi table my motherboard is asus z170 pro gaming and my cpu is Intel core 15 6600k my drives are Samsung 850 evo and western digital blue

windows wants to install the system reserve and other partion on a empty drive. if the drive has a partion and no data on it then use windows advance mode in the instsller and delete the partion and the nlet windows install itself on a empty drive. also make sure the drive your installing to is the drive you want windows on. on some mb bios make sure under the boot tab the windows boot efi is seleted for the right drive. if it not and there no info on that drive..unplug the other hard drive and see if you can install windows on the right drive.
