Fix 'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table' error

Still works in 2021! This error: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks" is common when installing Windows 10 on a PC or Mac. Hence, you need to take an extra step to fix it.

Many thanks, does work perfectly but please remember to refresh drives before moving forward.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON "REFRESH" AFTER EXITING "SHIFT-F10" OR THE CHANGES WILL NOT APPEAR.

[poradexplorer]

it's 2023 and this issue has been existing years past yet I encountered this just now. This is timeless! You're a lifesaver!

For all the people asking what is "refresh" command at the end: It is not a command; when you exit, there is the refresh button under the list of your drives (down left, 2 blue arrows).

It worked, after spending 4 hours trying to figure out. You saved me mate.

Great video. For those that couldn't make out the key combination to get to the command line interface, it is SHIFT + F10.

[snthyt]

thanks for this! you went straight to the topic without a 10 minute intro and were very clear on instructions. this is the video we all needed!!

[hours]

I hardly comment on videos bit thank you so much! This has been stressing me out for hours and within 2 minutes of your straight to the point video Windows is now installing. Thank you so much seriously!

[butnugget]

You're a gentleman and a scholar. I thank you good sir!

No Bro you don't have to delete all your disk data, the problem is with bootable USB or boot mode. Boot mode you might have UEFI due to that it is expecting GPT drives. And 2nd possiblity is Bootable image under USB drive is created using GPT, so you just have to re create new bootable image with MBR-NTFS. The way you have explained, due to this people will loose all there data and it's complicated to take backup in case of someone is even not able to go login to windows or crashed OS.
