Hi, Installed the Win 10TP in a dual boot on my old Win 7 laptop (upgraded to Win 8.1) with no problems; but now I want to put it on my desktop in a dual boot as well. That machine (HP p2-1310) came with Win 8 which I upgraded to 8.1. I know the new secure boot situation is a horror story and I found how to get the install disk to run, but I get an error message saying my partitions are not it the recommended order. The only partition I created was when I split my C: drive to create a space for Win 10. Everything else was automatically created by the Win 8, then 8.1, installs. So now what do I do? Ignore the message, or can this be fixed?? Partition where I want to put Win 10 is labeled and highlighted.

You have 2 Recovery Partitions instead of 1.
The 1st one is the problem. The EFI partition needs to be 1st.
The one after the Win10 is the one you want & it needs to be a bit larger.
