Solution 2: Check Current Partitions
In some cases, the error message appears because you have already reached the limit of the allowed partitions. Windows, by default, use the MBR partition system which is an old system.

In case you want to convert MBR partition system to GPT, you can do so by referring to this guide published on our site.
