Hello I just bought a new laptop (msi) without an os. I bought, downloaded and burned on a dvd the windows 10. The installation of the windows on the new laptop goes smoothly until I'm asked Where to install the windows.
It gives me 2 options:
Drive 0 Partition 1: FREEDOS total size: 921.5gb Free space: 921.1gb Type: System
Drive 0 partition 2: DriverCD total size: 10.0 gb Free space: 4.7gb Type: Primary
the first partition has an error: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS.
the second one doesn't have enough space.

I red on internet that I should delete/clean the hdd.

However the notice of "how to install drivers and os" that came with the laptop says:
Caution: Do Not format/delete/modify [Driver CD] partition. MSI driver package will be affected/broken by those kinds of operations. MSI strongly recommend that user keep the Driver CD partition. Windows 8/8.1 still can be installed with BIOS default (Legacy mode). However, if you select UEFI mode in BIOS, must be delete all partitions then install Windows OS.

Ps. It's the very first time I install an OS. So I'm pretty much a noob in this.
 
Since you are installing a brand new operating system compared to what is on laptop now, deleting those drivers won't effect you. They are there more for the OS currently installed.

What I suggest is delete all the partitions on the hdd and click next, windows 10 will create the partitions it needs and its likely it has drivers for your hardware.
