Windows 11 install error: Windows cannot be installed to this disk

"Windows cannot be installed to this disk" The error you're encountering indicates that your system is in UEFI mode, which requires a disk with a GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition scheme, while your current disk is using an MBR (Master Boot Record) partition scheme. You have a couple of options to resolve this issue. Below, I’ll provide a step-by-step guide on how to convert your disk from MBR to GPT and proceed with the installation of Windows 11.

How to Convert MBR to GPT Using Diskpart if Windows cannot be installed to this disk:

1. Boot from the Windows 11 USB Drive:
Insert the bootable USB drive into your PC.
Restart your PC and boot from the USB.

2. Open Command Prompt:
When you reach the Windows Setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt.

3. Use Diskpart:
In the Command Prompt, type diskpart and hit Enter.
Type list disk and hit Enter. This will show you a list of your connected disks.
Identify your main disk (usually Disk 0), which contains your current Windows installation.

4. Select Your Disk:
Type select disk 0 (replace 0 with the number of your disk if different) and hit Enter.
Type clean and press Enter. This will remove all partitions on the disk.

5. Convert to GPT:
Type convert gpt and hit Enter. This converts the disk to GPT format.

6. Create New Partition:
Type create partition primary and hit Enter.
Type format quick fs=ntfs and hit Enter.
Type exit to close Diskpart, and then close the Command Prompt.

7. Restart Installation:
Close the setup and restart your PC. Boot from the USB drive again.
Now you should be able to select your disk and proceed with the installation of Windows 11.
