Installing Windows 10 giving me fits
Yesterday I went over to a friends home (my computer guru's) and we installed Windows 10 Home. It had a few minor glitches and we thought we had solved those. When I got home things went from bad to worse. I can NOT even describe what all it was doing.
When it booted up, the only thing on the main screen was the background image installed during installation. There was NOT even a Recycle bin icon. On the task bar there were several icons. When I clicked on say "Edge", it seems to open but did NOT show on the screen. I had no idea how to fix this so I decided to reinstall Windows again.
At some point during the install I got the following error message
Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. n EFI systems, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks.
I did a search and found what I think is a fix for that, but not really sure. It is located at the following link:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table - YouTube
I am not sure if this is common problem or not. According to that link it is a lengthy process and fairly complicated. If anyone has better suggestions I am open to any possibilities.
BTW the computer has two hard drives. The Primary is a single partition drive, and secondary hard drive has 3 (data) partitions.
If I can think of anything else I will add to this post. I hope someone has reasonable explanation for this even.
Thanks
