Hey there, welcome to your first build! You're trying to install Windows 10 on an SSD but are getting a warning that the disk can't be used because it's MBR and not GPT. Since you're new, this might seem confusing. Just check if your SSD supports GPT formatting or consider using a tool like DiskPart or GParted to prepare it properly. Let me know if you need more guidance!

Usually I thought Windows would handle whether it's MBR or GPT, but you might need to change the drive format to GPT. If you have a Windows recovery disk, you can open the command prompt to do this.

I entered the command prompt, but selecting the disk still shows it as invalid.
