I have been trying to install Windows 10 on a brand new Samsung 850 evo 500gb ssd drive, however I have experienced several errors in attempting to do so. I have gotten errors saying that the card is of gpt format and have tried converting it to mbr, and after deleting partitions retrying or changing boot priorities in the bios, it still won't work, in fact it often will give an error explaining how the disc is actually mbr formatted and therefore won't work (contrary to it's original error message). I am loading windows on via an external usb dvd reader, and I have an amd motherboard. After 2 days of trying every idea I have seen online I cannot find a solution. Any suggestions?
