Win10 install completely gone wrong

[FreshKD21]

So i did a post earlier how to install win10 on my SSD, it didnt work due to this error:Windows cant install on this drive. The drive has a MBR-Partitionstable on it. On Efi-Sytems windows can only be installed on GPT-Disks

 

I tried to delete the partition and reformat it. Didnt help and now for some odd reason i think windows deinstalled on my hdd as i have way more space than i had before and i cant boot into windows anymore, help!

It pretty much has told you what todo. You need to change your drive from MBR to GPT, this option should be within the partition manager.

If you reformatted it then there should be literally nothing on the drive. So yes, of course it won't boot into Windows if it was installed previously.

 

If you want to do an EFI install then press the boot option key for your motherboard several times before booting into your drive, choose the version of your flash drive marked "EFI" then do the installation as you would before.

 

Then, once the drive options are shown within the Windows installer, delete all partitions on the drive you want Windows installed on. Once all partitions are gone, click "New" while the correct drive is highlighted, then click "Apply." Make sure the highlighter selects the largest partition and you can continue the install as normal.

Ok, so I have found you a video. I have watched parts of it. The information is correct, but please save yourself and mute the audio.

Ok, well you are missing your Ethernet driver. If you can tell me what motherboard you have I will be able to find the Ethernet driver for you.

You gotta download the driver onto a flash drive. You'll need another computer to do this.
