Installing windows 10 from 8.1 left one of my drives unpartitioned. Trying to recover it.

I am using EaseUS Partition Master and when I click the checkbox it says "You are not allowed to undelete partitions when four primary partitions exist on one disk." 
Does this mean that I'm boned and everything on that disk is gone since trying to make it GPT from MBR will destroy the data? 

By the way, it definitely picks up that there is still data. It remembers how much data is free, and what name the drive was.

It's not that Win10 deleted it, sometimes it's a bug. There are reports of a the same thing happening xp to vista, xp to 7, 7 to 8. It's just a bug within.
