[SamuraiAlex]

Hey guys, so basically It's my first build and I'm currently trying to install windows 10 however when trying to install on my SSD i get the message that I cannot use that disk as it is MBR and not GPT? As i said I'm a first time builder and new to this and have no idea whats going on con someone please help?

Normally to my knowledge windows should install whether it's MBR or GPT... You'll have to reformat the drive as GPT if that's what it really wants. You can use a windows recovery disk to launch the command prompt if you have one laying around.

Ive gone into the command prompt but when i try to select the disk it just states that the disk is not valid?

Disk Management can also do the same thing.

Not when there's no OS installed.
