      What are the Reasons of Windows cannot be installed to this disk error?

      There are Several Reasons of the “Windows cannot be installed to this disk” error. In most cases, the error is caused by hardware incompatibility.

      This error may occur when your hard drive partition style doesn’t match to your existing BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) Setting. In the old BIOS mode, Windows can only be installed on MBR disks, because standard BIOS cannot recognize GPT partitions, but read/write data from GPT disks can be used as long as Windows supports it.

      These times, BIOS has two types of version: First Legacy BIOS and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). UEFI is more modern while Legacy BIOS is very old. Each of these versions only works with a specific disk partition style. If there is a discrepancy, you get the “Windows cannot be installed to this disk” error.

      1. Fix “Windows cannot be installed to this disk” Error using BIOS Setting.

      To fix this error windows cannot be installed on this disk. first, you need to go into your BIOS setup and see what boot mode is currently set. Start/reboot your computer and press and hold the BIOS key to enter the BIOS before the Windows logo appears. Different computers may require different keys, so it’s best to See this article “How to Find Bios and Boot Menu Option Keys for All Brands Laptops & Desktops” to find the exact key.

      BIOS Setting for “The selected disk is of the GPT partition style”

      If you are getting this type of error “The selected disk is of the GPT partition style,” it means currently your PC has a Legacy BIOS. Legacy BIOS doesn’t support the GPT Partition Style, so In BIOS, Go to Boot Tab Set the UEFI Boot Mod, or Enable Secure Boot in your Bios. The following image is an example of this BIOS setting.

      1. Boot your PC.
      2. Now, you need to access the BIOS setup of your computer. You might need to press the F1, F2, or Del key to do this. However, the key for accessing the BIOS screen varies, depending on the brand of your PC. So, it is best that you consult your manual to know which key to press.
      3. Once you’ve accessed the BIOS setup, look for the boot configuration of your PC.
      4. Make sure that your Boot Mode is set as the UEFI in the Boot Mood. or Enable Secure Boot in Secure Mode.
      5. Save the changes you’ve made, then exit BIOS.
      Choose UEFI Boot Mood

      BIOS Setting for “Selected Disk Has an MBR Partition Table”

      If you are shown this error “The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks,” it means your system BIOS has been set for UEFI BIOS or Secure Boot is Enabled and you are using MBR Base Bootable USB Drive, On UEFI System, you can install Windows only to GPT partition style disks. So In BIOS, Go to Boot Tab Set the Legacy Boot Mod or disable Secure Boot in your Bios.

      1. Boot your PC.
      2. Now, you need to access the BIOS setup of your computer. You might need to press the F1, F2, or Del key to do this. However, the key for accessing the BIOS screen varies, depending on the brand of your PC. So, it is best that you consult your manual to know which key to press.
      3. Once you’ve accessed the BIOS setup, look for the boot configuration of your PC.
      4. Make sure that your Boot Mode is set as the Legacy in the Boot Mood. or Disable Secure Boot in Secure Mode.
      5. Save the changes you’ve made, then exit BIOS.

      2. Fix “Windows cannot be installed to this disk” Error using Diskpart Utility.

      If you want to continue with the UEFI boot mode on your computer, then you can simply format the drive in the GPT partition style. Before formatting the drive Backup your all data to another Drive. You can use the Diskpart utility at the time of windows installation. You can fix the “The selected disk is of GPT partition style” on your computer, follow these steps.

When you are in BIOS, you should find the boot mode. Again, You have to check all the tabs, but usually there is a Boot tab and there you will find Boot mode.

      If you do not see a notification that you are using a UEFI motherboard as shown in the picture below, you may be using an older motherboard that only supports legacy BIOS. The only solution in this case is to convert the GPT disk to MBR disk.

      How to Fix the “Selected Disk Has an MBR Partition Table” Error

If you don’t want to convert the partition, go into your BIOS and see if you can disable the UEFI boot source. Once you’re in the BIOS, go to the Boot Order section and look for UEFI Boot Sources. Disable it and run Windows Setup. if you are not able to access BIOS, You have to Covert your disk into GPT Partition Style.

      It is very easy for novice users to create a bootable UEFI flash drive to install Windows using the popular tool Rufus GUI. Currently, Rufus version 3.21 is available on the developer’s website https://rufus.ie. The tool is very compact (about 1MB), no require to installation and is completely free. Moreover, it works much faster than analog. you can only solve the “Selected Disk Is of the GPT Partition Style” error with the help of this way.
