Got home and put the new SSD in this evening, but doesn’t seem to have solved anything. I get windows setup come up and when clicking I accept the license agreement etc, I get two options of Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, or Custom; install windows only (advanced) I clicked on...

Have spoken to PCS and a new SSD should be with me tomorrow to hopefully solve the issue. Will let you know how I get on, and a massive thanks for all your help!

Still no luck, I just get the following message when entering delete partition override: DiskPart has encountered an error: incorrect function See the System Event Log for more information I guess it’s over to PCS now!

Will definitely do that. Did not realise they were open until 8pm to be honest - will make life much easier. I spoke to someone this morning and pointed them in the direction of this post. They gave all the same instructions as Ubuysa has, and asked if I had tried the step he recommended this...

I shall try that when I get home this evening. Do I need to go through all the steps again, or can I just select drive 1, and then do the delete partition override? I assume I then just go through and delete the 4 partitions?

Clean all doesn’t work. Sel part 1 and then delete partition gives the following: Virtual disk service error: cannot delete a protected partition without the force protected parameter set. Starting to think this isn’t meant to be!

Partition 1 System 260mb 1024kb Partition 2 Reserved 128mb 261mb Partition 3 Recovery 500mb 389mb Partition 4 Primary 464gb 889mb 1st M.2 SSD Drive 500GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 3200MB/W)

Thanks again for the reply. Got through all the steps until disk 1 clean. It says the following: DiskPart has encomtoured an error: incorrect ruction. See the system event log for more information. Any ideas on this one?

Just doing this now. When I enter list disk, it is only show disk 0 which is the HDD and disk 2 which I am guessing is the memory stick. There is no disk 1. It that correct or should it be showing a disk 1?

It won’t let me delete any of the partitions. We couldn’t delete the selected partition (Error 0x8007001 Any ideas? Having said that, I clicked refresh and now all drive 1s have disappeared!

Morning Ubuysa, Do I delete everything in the Partitions or just the ones you mention? Photos show what is in there. I don’t appear to have EFI/Boot. Thanks!!!

Tried installing windows from the USB but got the following: Any further advice?

Ubuysa, thanks for the reply. I have downloaded Windows 10 onto a USB as above, but how do I get the PC to run this?

Oussebon, thanks for the response. Without sounding dense, how do I do that with the options that are available on the troubleshoot screen?

Got my new PC today (August PC of the Month) however on turning it on, I get the following: Troubleshoot (reset your PC or see advanced options) Turn off your PC I’m guessing this is not the screen I should be greeted with when turning on a new PC. All help welcome! Thanks!

Oussebon, many thanks for the recommendations, will definitely Go for one of those! As for the PC of the month, has anyone actually bought it and are able to offer a review?

Evening all. I am thinking of purchasing this PC of the Month, but was just wondering what monitor people would recommend for it? Thanks in advance.

Good evening, I have been a follower of this forum for a long while and am hoping you can help with some feedback / advice on the below spec. Laptop will be used for gaming (Football Manager 2018, Sims, City Skylines, GTAV, Witcher 3 (if possible)) All feedback welcome and I look forward to...
