Well, lately I have been pulling out hair trying to install Windows 7 and 10 to my new Lenovo G40 laptop. The issues was...
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of GPT style"
I alter the 'UEFI' settings, tweaking around the 'Legacy' in BIOS settings, but, did not help.
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.
It can be especially useful for cases where:
you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.)
you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed
you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
you want to run a low-level utility
Now, creating USB Bootable for 'GPT style drives' using Rufus.
1. Download Rufus here
2. Run the tool
3. Once the tool is running, click on the 'Partition scheme and target system type' and choose 'GPT partition scheme for UEFI'
4. Choose other options
Let me know if it works for you.
