Hello,
I want to install Windows 10, but it show me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style." error. My motherboard is ASUS Z97-A. I changed below settings, but it doesn't work:
Which settings are OK?
Thank you.

@WindowsGeek
Hi,
If you receive the error message, it’s because your PC is booted in UEFI mode, but your hard drive is not configured for UEFI mode.
You’ve got a few options:
1.Reboot the PC in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode. This option lets you keep the existing partition style. For more info, see Boot to UEFI Mode or Legacy BIOS mode.
2.Configure your drive for UEFI by using the GPT partition style. This option lets you use the PC’s UEFI firmware features.
You can preserve your data and convert the drive using the MBR2GPT tool. You can also choose to reformat the drive using the instructions below. Reformatting will erase all the data on the drive.
You may refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Hope above information can help you.

As you see, I selected "Legacy Only". Problem not solved!

Please disable CSM.
If available use UEFI native (without CSM) > reboot > post images
