okay my link got taken out so heres a copy/paste job
toshiba x64 (originally win7)
pentium core
6gb ram
720 hdd
need to uninstall ubuntu and install windows 10 (full version, on disc with key)
windows install disk wouldnt run because not free partition.
made gp live disc
run it
created a new partition table
created a new partition - Cleared
checked it
applied all
reboot pc with windows 10 disk in
it sits there in dos after the toshiba splash blinking while it reads the disk, the _ stays solid for about a minute then the drive stops spinning and it just sits there blinking waiting for a reboot.
I Created a new blank partition and rebooted with win10 disc in drive and #1 on boot list (obv.)
Instead of sitting there for hours with no response what I'm presented with now is a message from Realtek and Intel?
{still on Dos}

Reboot and select proper boot device
or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key
GPT table istead of Dos yeilds same results
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX count=2048 bs=512

Just created new win10 install disc on different pc no different results, so original disk is fine
