My problem concerning the GPT partition type was caused by me using the MBR partition type when I formatted the thumb drive with the Win 10 ISO. When creating the ISO image on the thumb drive, you have to use the same partition type as used on the hard drive you are installing to.

I didn't have that issue, I actually used Fat 32 on my usb drive.

As far as I can tell, I'm using the new start menu, and it has tiles

Yeah those tiles piss me off. I dont want them. Better be a third party app to undo it.

This is what needs to happen. Someone needs to make a FREE OS that has the availability of linux with the ease of use of windows and have games work 100% no issues no backdooring, no work arounds (WINE) and not have me compile crap myself to install something like current linux.

Heh, seems to be working pretty good for a first build. A lot like 8.1, and I still freaking hate those damn tiles.
Is the Start Screen gone? That thing was disgusting.
