Can't install Windows, partition is gpt?

[Olle118]

Hi
I've just built my new computer but when trying to install Windows on a partition it says I can't because partition is of the GPT partition style.
If you know how to fix it please respond as fast and as detailed as possible since I want to use my new PC.

Go into your BIOS and boot the the "efi" or "uefi" boot option in whatever media your using. Some BIOS will allow you to prioritize efi boot if you can find that option use that.

windows looks for a blank drive with no partions. it has to make a system restore partion on the boot drive. the drive thaqt has a partion on it now does it have any data on it. if there no data on the drive use windows advance mode and remvoe all the partions and then reboot. on the reboot windows should install fine.

Well I want to do a fresh install so I don't really care about any data left on it since my old computer.
But what you're saying is that I should delete all my partitions right?
There is one that says "OEM Reserved" tho how about that one?

I don't really understand what you mean, can you please try to be more detailed?

Here is what worked for me I can not guarantee that it will work for everyone though and it will also wipe the whole HDD
Note that if you have more than one HDD or SSD unplug all except the one you're going to install windows one
Shift+F10 in the windows 10 setup
when in cmd type the following in the following order:
"diskpart"
"list disk"
then there should be one HDD on the list, for example "disk 0" then type
"select disk 0"
"clean"
"exit"
And then it worked for me at least
