[Tomi123]

I found an old laptop in my room, but the issue i encountered is that it has no operating system so with my windows 10 bootable flashdrive i tried to install a new copy of windows. Then i never managed to make it work aparenty there are 2 partitions a Recovery which wont work and the disk 0 that has 456gb. If you know how to reinstall windows in a machine that has no operating system please help.

Delete both partitions, then install the OS.

When asked where to install Windows, delete all partitions and create one new partition. Format, then install. If you like to go the Disk Partition route, in Command Prompt:

diskpart
list disk

// Find the associated number for your target disk. For this example, we'll use 0 as that's the typical one. Will be different if your system has two drives installed

select disk 0
clean
create part pri
select part 1
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
active
exit
