remove the partition from the hard drive.

o Quick Tip: If you have multiple partitions, on the primary hard drive (Drive 0), you can select and
delete each one. Windows 10 will recreate additional partitions as needed. However, if you have
multiple hard drives, you don't need to delete the partitions on them.

 Select the empty drive (Drive 0 Unallocated Space) > Click Next to begin the installation process.
