Reinstalling Windows10 Error: A required drive partition is missing

Question

Hi,

The HDD of my Inspiron 5758 died. Replaced this and now trying to install Windows 10 (Had originally Windows 8.1 installed). But I am getting the message: " Unable to reset your PC. A required partition is missing".

Can you please advise me what to do now? Mind you, I am far from a computer expert.

Cheers
