I am trying to install Windows 10 on an older laptop circa 2014. I made an install media using the USB creation tool and then booted to USB and I'm getting a message that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
Can someone explain what the problem is here? I don't care about any of the data on the disk so I'm happy to format, but what is Windows telling me?
Secondly there seems to be two boot options to get to usb. One option is "legacy" USB boot. The other options is UEFI USB boot. Which of these options should I be picking when I boot up?
