Help me decide please

I found my old pc from 2010. It has windows 7 on it but it won't boot. When I go into upgrade windows from the windows 10 installation it tells me to remove and restart but won't change anything. I'm trying custom windows now and I get this error.

Are you using a formatted harddrive?

you would want to delete both, and install to the empty space that is left. make sure all data is backed up first of coarse.

that's odd, press "shift+f10" to open a cmd, and open "diskpart". then enter "list disk" and "list volume" to see if everything is still recognized or not.

 

it's an old drive, are you sure it's not toast?

i could be wrong, but drive might just be done. you said it wouldn't boot 7, that might explain why. could try cleaning and formatting, couldn't hurt. quick walk through:

If you have a Linux usb try to see if it shows up when running GPART it may just not hopefully be detected by windows if it doesn't show up in GPARTED then it is a dead drive.
