Thought of upgrading my Win 7 ultimate to WIn 10 PRO with clean windows install. Downloaded the ISO using Media creation tool from Microsoft. Used RUFUS to create a bootable flash drive (automatically it was created with GPT/UEFI method, but my HDD is MBR. didnt know this when doing initially) Restarted system and Just because I needed a clean installation, DELETED the C drive partition thinking I would create a new one from unallocated space. But unfortunately I was unable to create a new partition. Got an error "We couldnt create a new partition". I believe this error is due to unsupported GPT/UEFI booting method. Its not allowing to create new partition. Correct me if I am wrong.
I didnt do anything to the remaining 2 partitions (D&E drive). I only deleted the C drive partition. The other 2 partitions has valuable stuff around 700 GB.
My question is, Whether re-creating the bootable USB using Rufus by MBR method and booting using LEGACY method will allow me to create a new partition and go ahead with Win 10 installation without any impact to other 2 partitions ? Please help as its pretty urgent and data in other partitions are very sensitive.
