I'm trying to re-install Windows 7 on my desktop because it came with 32-bit but I need 64-bit. However, when I try to install, a couple windows in I'm supposed toe choose where to install it, but neither of the options work. There's a 100 MB one with 71 MB free space that's described as "system" type, called Disk 0 Partition 1, and the second one is 931.4 GB with 836.4 GB free and described as "primary" type, called Disk 0 Partition 2. Both of them show an error message at the bottom of the window that says Windows cannot be installed to (partition name). When I click "Show Details", a box comes up that says:
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.
When I went to the Microsoft help chat, the person suggested I "format the disks" or something, but I have no idea what that means or how to do it.
This post suggested deleting all the partitions and creating new ones, but I don't even rightly know what they are, let alone how to delete or make them.
What do I do?
