Hello everyone. Here's the situation.

FOr a long time, I've been using Rufus to create bootable drives with this or that build of Windows 10. It's always worked on my old laptop, which has an MBR partition scheme. Recently I bought a new laptop, which uses GPT for the partition scheme. Rufus gives me the option to properly format the flash drive with the desired partition scheme. So, for my new laptop, I chose GPT. But now, I'm trying to format the old laptop again and it won't work. I've formatted the drive time after time with all schemes and it won't work. I have no idea what it could be.

Does anyone know?
