Download the Media Creation Tool from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/ run it and make a bootable USB drive.

Get the latest drivers from here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25165/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver?product=55005
File: f6flpy-x64.zip. Unzip it to a folder on a USB drive(it can be teh one with windows on it).

Disconnect all the drives except the one you're installing to, then go into the BIOS and under "boot" disable CSM and enable "secure boot".

Start the install and when it asks where to install hit "have disk" and point it to the folder you put the above files in.

then hit shift +f10 then:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x(x beeing the drive you are installing to)
clean
convert gpt
exit
exit

then hit refresh and select "create" to make a partition for windows as big as you require it. windows will create several partitions and auto-select the proper one to install to.

ok thaaank you so much ill let you know if it works!!

Hlsgsz :

No need to go through all that.
Why partition a 250GB drive? Just leads to hassles later.

Hlsgsz · Jul 7, 2016

USAFRet :

No partitioning. Just converting it to GPT for UEFI operation in case it was fomated with MBR.

Hlsgsz · Jul 7, 2016

jkuuuush92 :

hey should the media creation program be downloading windows 10? just wondering cuzi already have a win10 iso and windows is like 100$ish so i wasnt sure how its downloading it since i didnt buy anything.

USAFRet · Jul 7, 2016

jkuuuush92 :

Win 10 is on your current drive and activated, right?
No need to purchase anything. Your hardware and Win 10 license is already registered at the mothership.

Installing on a new drive, in that same system, is no problem.

ok awesome. lol thanks. internet is terrible so its gunna take a while to download but ill let you know how it works out

Hlsgsz · Jul 7, 2016

jkuuuush92 :

Like USAFRet said, if you have a license tied to your motherboard you are fine. Downloading and creating the installation media is free. Activation is tied to either your hardware or to the product key.

sorry i dont knowwhat happened there but Hlsgsz there was no CSM option to disable.and i coyuldnt find a "secure boot" option in my bios. and it when i saved and rebooted, it said something along the lines of There is no media to boot from or something like that. there was a little morethan that but that was basicly what it was saying.
