glad you got it working.

I had to go out for dinner with my family otherwise I would have helped you further.

There are a few things one can do in the situation you were in. You could have booted into the CMD prompt from the Windows 10 installation media and use diskpart to convert the drive to GPT or even disable CSM in the BIOS boot section, including disabling secure boot e.g. Cheers!

Yip that will do it. Change your partition or let the OS installation set the type.

You may have another 8 pin (two 4 pins clipped together) that can be split in half and used in the remaining 4 pin socket. That was the case with my older Seasonic SS-1050XM.
