Only two partitions based on what you see in Windows 10 Disk Management?

Does your Win10 device have a UEFI/BIOS or only BIOS?
  - UEFI/BIOS supports both GPT and MBR partitioning
  - BIOS only supports MBR partitioning
  => Windows 11 requires the former. Windows 10 supports both.


Can you tell us more about the hardware?
  e.g. CPU, Motherboard
