hi, new HP Pavilion laptop came with Free DOS, now want to install Win (UEFI), but won't let me because it is MBR on SSD. Do I have to delete those partitions (HPDOCS and Free DOS) to continue?
You could consider converting the disk: from the tutorial section
Windows 10 Tutorial Index | Tutorials
which you're free to browse and search:

You will want to press shift+F10 to open a command prompt. Then run:
diskpart
select disk 1
clean
convert gpt
exit
exit
Then highlight the unallocated space on drive 1 and click next to install Windows to.
I just deleted those partitions as I do not need them, Windows installation was fine...
