So guys,

I'm trying to install windows 10 on my SSD I'm in bios but my disk is MBR, I've tried to convert it in the bios but it just gives me the message that the disk I'm selecting is not valid. Please help.

So if you have a USB download a bootable drive. Then load up the BIOS, it should show the drive in boot options. Change it to the SSD and you should see 1-2 partitions. Delete each partition, then re-run the installer and it should allow you to install directly onto the ssd. If not, then you need to connect it to another computer, go into disk management, and on the ssd do a clean format to CSM, or if available just hit "convert" to CSM

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself
