GPT Disk

I am installing windows 10 onto a old laptop I have. When I got to install it it says "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk drive has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." How can I convert the storage device to a GPT without being able to use windows?

Below method will erase all data on the disk:

 

During windows installation, press F8 to open up command prompt.

Enter the below commands: 

diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
clean
convert gpt

Make sure you select the correct disk when using "select disk x".
