I attempted to set up Windows 10, but it seems the system won’t install properly. You don’t need to wipe your hard drive—try using a different method or contact support for further assistance.

Clean it up, unless you disable the storage you wish to retain and then set up Windows on the fresh drive.

Use the command line to create a new partition.

Delete all partitions and format the drive. Install the new system!

You can also convert MBR to GPT without needing large data sets using a reliable partition manager such as MiniTool Partition Manager.

If you're not interested in the data on the drive, proceed with these steps. To simplify, disconnect all storage drives except the one you wish to install Windows on. On the installation screen, remove every partition from the drive you're installing Windows on by going back in the installer until you reach the page labeled "Repair your computer." Click on "Repair your computer" as shown in the image. Navigate to Troubleshoot, then open Command Prompt. Type "diskpart" in the command line. Enter "list disk" to see all installed drives. Select the desired disk using "select disk <Number>" and type "convert gpt" to convert it into a GPT format. For details, refer to the Microsoft documentation link provided.
