Error 6 - Converting mbr to gpt
I have ssd with windows 7 on it. Ive tried wiping the drive with every way possible. I keep getting error that its locked. I tried aomei and I get error 6. What do I need to do so I can wipe this drive, convert to gpt, and install windows 10? I tried installing wondows 10 on gpt but it gives me error during installation and cant continue.

Or if SSD is internally, boot from bootable media and go to DOS-prompt. Start Diskpart.exe
When booted from Win10 Installation DVD/USB you can enter Shift+F10 in a setup screen to enter DOS mode.
In Diskpart enter these commands:
List disk
select disk # (# being the disk number of the ssd in list disk)
clean
convert gpt (probably not necessary if you install Windows 10 on a UEFI machine, because the setup program will format the cleaned drive correctly to GPT)
exit
exit
You cannot use GPT disk to boot on a BIOS machine. So if the machine ran Windows 7 before it is probably a BIOS machine.
Disk is 120gb ssd.
Did you clean the SSD ?
Then don't "convert GPT" but goto Windows Disk Management. Windows should ask if you want the disk to be MBR or GPT initialized.
When i try to install windows it says required files corrupt. I know there not as I have been successful with different system.
