Installing Windows 10 On GPT Disk, Partitions Not In Correct Order?
Installing Windows 10 on GPT disk, partitions not in correct order?
Are you attempting to do a clean install of Windows 10 or perhaps an upgrade? If a clean install, then boot from your Windows 10 USB or DVD and pick the Custom install option. Delete every one of the partitions about the drive, then simply select the unallocated space to set up to.

I are already able to "successfully" boot the CD Drive into UEFI mode to put in Windows 10 onto my new 4TB SSHD, but I run across the error were it stats which the partitions aren't in the recommended order, if the ONLY partitions about the disk would be the primary and also the "protective MBR" before it at slot 0.
Now, when I am in windows the first time everything seems fine, but when I restart after doing basic setup, I run across an issue where I cannot browse any partitions (I try to look at "This PC", nonetheless it acts as it is indexing indefinitely and I never view the drive listing).
It appears like Windows 10 most likely are not appropriately setting an order for the partitions. I included a screenshot from the setup below.
Is this incorrect? How would I be capable to correct the situation?
At the instant I left my original installation on my own 1TB HHD intact, to ensure that I can still need an operating PC, and learn some information on this.
I literally never read about GPT (at least remember it) before a couple of days ago.
The partition order will not be relevant.
Do yu have two disks installed because image you show only shows one partition with D drive.
Post image of other drives likewise.
Ok, I may have been able to find out the matter.
This may possibly not have done anything, since the disk order failed to change when I plugged your second back in, but there are 2 installed, Disk 0 (the main installation) and disk 1, the latest new installation location.
I unplugged the previous one completely and installed also it went completely smoothly, without issue.
Though I did run across some issues with an old registry item I like to use, "TakeOwnership", that if used to snag the previous user folders/files, broke the Windows Apps (like weather, or photos). I was capable to find an easy method around this also.
