How can I instal Win 10 on only one partition
Cos Win is puting diferent files like mbr on other partitions

Thank you
 
I'm gonna take a guess that you are trying to install Windows on a partition on a HDD with another OS(Linux) installed on it. Windows will overwrite any MBR from another OS unless you install Windows first. Then install any other OS (Linux?)and use its bootloader to boot. Of course Window 10 will do recon on your system anyway, but what do you expect from Micro$oft. Personally I like to install each OS on it's own physical drive, makes things simpler in the long run. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes it does. So is this what you are asking Aprilia? You are going to need a boot partition of some sort. It's possible to do so by tricking your system a bit but not recommended. When you choose to abandon those other 2 partitions you are giving away some pretty cool features of Win 10.
But it really comes down to what is your intention and why do you require only one partition? Answer that and there are some pretty smart members here who have experience and are glad to help once they are aware of where you are trying to go.
