PC won't boot and I'm done attempting a repair. Finished.

I would like to start from scratch but would like to install the OS GPT vs MBR which I had originally done. 

I originally upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 Ultimate Edition before the 10 upgrade for free expired so I don't have a key. What's the best trouble free method? I also installed with a legacy BIOS (Award Software Int.) but the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 rev 1.0) is UEFI capable.

    I would prefer Legacy mode with MBR. There has been lot of issues with extra drive letters an multiple OEM partitions in UEFI/GPT.

    AMEN BROTHER. Bios MBR is the way to go.
