Hello,

I currently have Windows 8.1 32-bit on my computer.
I wanted to reinstall Windows in 64-bit but when I choose the disk on which to install it, an error message appears: "We couldn’t create a partition or locate an existing one."

If I try to install it on my main hard drive where Windows is located, it tells me that my disk is in MBR and it needs to be converted to GPT. The problem is that when I try to convert it, it says that 32-bit Windows does not support GPT.

How can I install Windows?
Thank you very much in advance as I've been struggling for hours and hours.

    Hi,

    For my part, I still had a USB stick connected to the PC, make sure nothing is plugged in and restart everything
