  2. Cannot upgrade due to unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware


    You do not have a GPT partition table.

    "When you deploy Windows to a UEFI-based device, you must format the hard drive that includes the Windows partition by using a GUID partition table (GPT) file system. Additional drives may use either the GPT or the master boot record (MBR) file format."

    To reinstall windows, you will need to delete all the partitions on your drive, and install on the unallocated drive, that way windows can make its own partitions it needs to run.

  3. Unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware

    It would help the discussion to know, when did you see the message: "Windows can't be installed because this PC has an unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware."? How did that message come about? Was this a result
    of Windows Update trying to upgrade from 10240 to a newer version of Windows?
