Dell Venue Pro 11 Won't Upgrade
My Dell Venue Pro 11 won't upgrade to Windows 10. It says, "Windows can't be installed because this PC has an unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware." When I first got my tablet, it upgraded to Windows 10 fine. However, I had to send the tablet in for repairs, and Dell reset the OS to 8. Now I can't upgrade to Windows 10 again, receiving the error at the outset. Please help me with this, as I've already exhausted many options and need Windows 10 for work. Also, the free upgrade to Windows 10 ends in 9 days.

I've been able to successfully upgrade to Win10. Evidently, Dell reinstalled Win8 using MBR partitions. On another PC, I had to create a Win8 installation USB, boot up from that on my tablet, and erase all partitions. I then installed Win8 using a new partition in GPT. Once 8 was reinstalled, I installed the driver for the WiFi adapter from the Dell website, and then I upgraded to 10 without an issue. Then I reinstalled the other drivers from the Dell website, so that I could use the touchscreen and such.
