    Hello.

    If the ssd is new, I would launch diskpart and

    sel dis 0
    clean
    convert gpt
    exit

    Then boot up W10 installation from uefi and install it.

    This question is out of order, please. The activation proccess can to begin when the OS was inside the SSD.
    Sorry, sir, it is not "out of order". This is a non-standard implementation of Windows on a PC. It was shipped to you with no software whatsoever. Therefore, it cannot be OEM, therefore you will need a valid license to activate it on new hardware.

    Hence the question, and a valid one.

    You can't install Win 10 because you're booting the Win 10 installation drive UEFI and you try to install on a MBR drive.
    You don't need to prepare the drive. Just follow my instructions from post #8
    When you delete all partitions and proceed, it will convert to GPT, create the EFI, reserved, C: and recovery partition.

    Simple as that.

    Open an elevated cmd prompt [ Administrative ] by pressing the Win + X keys together and selecting Command Prompt (Admin).
    I hope this helps.

    If the disk SSD is empty, from where launch the command with elevated permissions?

    Hello @Enrique,

    Megahertz said:
    Windows can be installed in two ways: Legacy-MBR or UEFI-GPT
    To install as Legacy-MBR you must boot the installation drive as Legacy
    To install as UEFI-GPT you must boot the installation drive as UEFI.

    During POST, press F12 to launch the boot menu. You will see two options for the USB drive. USB UEFI (Name) and USB (Name). Select USB UEFI (Name).
    Go to install and delete ALL partitions on the SSD till you have one and only one unallocated space and then proceed.
    [1] Did you see the post above from @Megahertz?
    [2] Did you do what he suggested?

    There is no need to prepare the drive. Just delete all partitions and proceed.
