Invalid Partition Error

I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10 an old Optiplex (i5 2nd gen) using a Windows Media Tool flash drive and get an error about Invalid Partition and it stops the install.  How do I fix this?

    need to enter custom (advanced) mode in install, delete all old partitions, hit enter which will create new partition on one unallocated drive and format automatically.

    Click the Next button.

    Once you complete the steps, the setup will install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on the device.
