Windows 8.1 install couldn’t create or locate partition on Pop! OS laptop

I installed Pop! OS on my laptop cleaning everything in the process, but for gaming, i want to use windows again. My machine was originally with a Windows 7 but following an itsfoss tutorial i tried installing Windows 8.1 on it.

The laptop is really old, with legacy BIOS, because i accidentally lvremoved my root partition (thankfully i backed up some data) i simply did a fresh install on Pop, leaving enough space for Windows, yet it fails with “We couldn’t create a partition or locate an existing one”.

I have:

  • a /boot logical partition with 1gb
  • /root logical partition with 395gb
  • swap with 4gb
  • free 100gb space
