Unable To Install Windows 10 Pro In Uefi

[mrfishfish]

Hi, I'm new here and I have a question.
I downloaded this: Windows 10 Pro Rs1 V.1607.14393.577 En-us X64 V.3 Dec2016 Pre-activated-=team Os=-
I burned it onto a dvd and am only able to install it in legacy mode. The hard drive it's being installed on has to have an MBR partition. I tried installing it under UEFI and a GPT partitioned drive - but it won't work.

I looked through the help thread and I saw someone else mentioned a similar problem but I couldn't understand the solution (if there was one). Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

I would recommend using Rufus and a USB stick not a disk, these days almost everyone uses USB sticks now. Rufus has tons of options for legacy or UEFI.

Also what exactly was the problem..... did it give an error or?????

BTW check your BIOS maybe you didn't select the proper options for UEFI i don't know what your bios says so i cant be specific but sometimes Bios's have options for Secure Boot or options to choose UEFI or options to disable Legacy etc etc etc and so on and so forth.

Ok, so I tried using Rufus and ended up with the same error when installing off a USB. I get as far as the point where I choose which drive to install it on. After clicking on my hard drive it says we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. Once I switch to legacy in my bios and change the hard drive from gpt to mbr I get past that part fine.

I tried changing the setting in my bios to uefi with legacy oprom disabled both with and without secure boot and it gives me the same above error. I also tried it with uefi and legacy oprom enabled without any luck. Not sure what else to do.

do you have multiple hard drives in your computer?

are you doing a fresh install >> formatting your hard drive completely?

don't select the USB drive as the first boot option > select the empty hard drive your installing windows to as first boot device. 2nd boot device = USB stick.

deactivate fast bios if the option is in there. did you use fat32 or NTFS to install windows onto the USB?? Fat32 is usually required for USB for UEFI.

Also make sure you have removed ANY other storage devices from the computer during this process... extra hard drives... sd cards... only your empty hard drive and the USB stick with windows on it should be in your pc to avoid conflicts.

I have multiple hard drives, but their all disconnected except the one I want to install on and yes it is a fresh install. The drive is formatted. I followed sams instructions exactly and it actually installed onto the drive.. UNTIL.. it completed the copying files and 'finishing up' part and gave me the 'windows will have to reboot' thing. After it rebooted it could never find the drive. I tried forcing to load off the drive by going into my boot menu and selecting it as I did to force the install but it never recognized it.

Anyway, after 4 hours monkeying with it, I gave up and decided to switch back to legacy and format the drive with MBR partition. It works fine like that. I figured UEFI was better cause it's newer but works fine nonetheless.
Thanks for you and Sam's help.
Love the OS!!
