Are you trying to install on a drive that has an existing Windows install already on it? Do you know why the disk already has those partitions on it?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Try opening the Command Prompt (Shift+F10) and convert to a GPT partition using the CLI.

Agreed, if you're fresh installing Windows delete all three partitions and select the blank one afterwards
