    Hi SyafiqYns

    You can install Windows 10 on an MBR drive . . .

    Click this link to download the Windows 10 ISO, (choose version 1803)

    https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php

    Click this link to download a tool from Microsoft which you can use to create the bootable installation media from that ISO - tool works for Windows 7, 8 and 10

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...

    Using the above method you will have created Windows 10 installation media suitable for installation on an MBR drive

    If you still encounter any difficulty installing Windows on an MBR drive

    Insert the Bootable Installation Media, then go into your BIOS and make the following changes:

    1. Disable Secure Boot
    2. Enable Legacy Boot
    3. If Available enable CSM
    4. If Required enable USB Boot
    5. Move the device with the bootable disc to the top of the boot order
    6. Save BIOS changes, restart your System and it should boot from the Installation Media
