installer wouldnt let me proceed.

This might happen when one of the partitions on the drive is auto-mounted on boot.

is your system using uefi and you booted the usb in legacy mode? i ask because i can see there is partition on the current setup that is a 260mb fat32 partition (sda2).

when you get to the boot selection menu at startup and you choose the manjaro install usb, is there 2 listings for it? if yes, one of them should say UEFI, choose that one and try again.

Thank you for the help! Deep inside the forum I found a step by step guide how to set up my partition, I got it working great, no more Windows. Now just trying to get themes to work and android studio.

Thank you, I already am happy I made the switch a very helpful community!

The issue was that i had tried to modify my NFTS partition that was Windows 10, and since Linux is not able to do this I had to create the partition myself which i had some help and I used these values:

• Select the unpartitioned space → Create a. Size → input 512 b. Filesystem → select FAT32 c. Mountpoint → select /boot/efi d. Flags → check boot and esp → OK

• Select the unpartitioned space → Create a. Size → input 2048 b. Filesystem → select linuxswap c. Flags → check swap → OK

• Select the unpartitioned space → Create a. Size → Use remaining b. Filesystem → select ext4 c. Mountpoint → select / (root) → OK
