Problem installing windows- "selected disk is of the GPT partition style".

Go to solution Solved by mahyar,

delete all partitions on disk and repartition

What the title says, on the "where do you want to install windows" screen, one partition on my, to my knowledge (bought refurbed), wiped drive is labelled "MSR (reserved)" and the other on is "primary", according to the 'type' column. I don't get most of everything on my screen right now, I'd appreciate any help..

This could be an issue with what bootable media you are using. If you have not done this, use Rufus to make the bootable media.

That is definitely true, did not really pay attention to the partitions in the picture like I should have.
