Posted earlier about having my OS wiped after restarting during an update. Now I download the os install and cannot run it through my BIOS.

Windows cannot be installed to this disk(my ssd partition). The selected disk has an MBR partition table. OnEFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

So I went theough my BIOS and disables boot secure mode, fast boot mode, and selected other os option in the boot security tab. Still getting the same error.

My mobo is ASUS 970 pro gaming/aura.
 
Solution
Under the windows showing the drives, click "Advanced options" to bring up a couple of options. On the partition screen highlight each partition in turn, then of the options now shown click "delete" until the whole disk is a big unallocated space. Then try to go forward.

Windows 10 will not install on an mbr partition only gpt. Any other type will give you this error. Change the type disk and it will install just fine. It doesn't support MBR only GPT. In the fall creators update the support for any thing other than the GPT was removed to force people to only use newer hardware. Older processors aren't supported either.
