During the installation of Windows, you may encounter an error indicating that the selected disk is not compatible with the computer’s hardware for booting. This message may appear if the disk uses a partition format not supported by your system’s BIOS or UEFI mode, or if security settings are blocking the installation.
To resolve this problem, here are the different available solutions:
Adjust the disk partition format (GPT or MBR) to make it compatible with the boot mode used by your system (UEFI or Legacy BIOS).
Steps:
Press Shift + F10 during the Windows installation to open Command Prompt.
Type diskpart and press Enter to access the disk management tool.
Type list disk to see the disks available on your computer.
Select the disk in question by typing select disk X (replace X with the disk number).
To convert to GPT, type convert gpt and press Enter. To convert to MBR, type convert mbr.
Close Command Prompt and restart the Windows installation.
Configure your system’s boot mode (UEFI or Legacy BIOS) to match the disk partition format.
Steps:
Restart your computer and access BIOS/UEFI by pressing F2, Esc, or another key specific to your system.
Look for the Boot Mode or UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode option and set it to UEFI if your disk is GPT, or to Legacy if your disk is MBR.
Make sure the relevant disk is at the top of the boot priority list.
Save the changes and restart to relaunch the Windows installation.
Disable the Secure Boot feature that may block the installation of certain unsigned operating systems.
Steps:
Restart your computer and access BIOS/UEFI as described previously.
In the security or boot settings, locate the Secure Boot option.
Disable Secure Boot and save the changes.
Restart your computer and relaunch the Windows installation.
