Timinator__

I just got all the parts and built my pc and got windows onto a thumb drive and everything was going fine till it asked what drive I wanted to install windows too and it would just keep cancelling the installations and then unless I kept re formatting it to GPT every time it would say it couldn't create a partition ive been working on this for 4 hours please help

did you use the software to install it from Microsoft?

Did you answer any prompts and if you did what were they?

Specs?

I used the iso link from Microsoft I got the free edition but now that im looking at it says I would need a liscense for it to work I thought you could get a free version of windows with no problems but that might be it

f10 for command prompt, type diskpart. then type select disk 0 after it starts, then type clean. after that, type convert mbr and restart the installation.

Pull everything out thats not importand to the install. Just have the pc, the usb stick and the drive youre installing on to. Disconect any drive thats not needed for the install.

I had this issue a few months ago and that ^^^ is what fixed it for me.
