Install Windows 10 on ASUS X555L Laptop using MBR not GPT ?

I would like to install Windows 10 (which I already have a USB installer for) onto an ASUS X555L laptop - at the moment when I get to the choose a partition to install to, it rejects the partition because it is an MBR partition - I do want to keep the MBR partitioning system and would like to install to it. I think I need to set the BIOS options correctly and have tried a few things including disabling 'Secrue Boot' and enabling CSM, bit so far it come up with the same message that I cannot install to that partition as it is MBR.
Some help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Please refer to the following FAQ.

Thanks for taking the time to read and for the info. But, it would be helpful, if you know, to tell me - can I install this laptop using MBR or not ? Can this laptop only be installed using GPT ?
I have reinstalled many PC's in tmy time but have not run into this problem before.
Any further info much appreciated. Thanks
