Yes, there are 2 options

UEFI KingstonDT 101 II
1st option - unable to boot
2nd option - able to boot but stopped as reported on my previous posting
I always use gparted to make a new drive as gpt. You have to do that first as for smaller drives it still defaults to MBR(msdos).
Use gparted and select gpt under device, advanced & select gpt over msdos(MBR) default partitioning.... Or if drive is blank or you want to erase it.
Or:
sudo parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt # where sdX is your drive. Note all data will be erased
Or:
Converting to or from GPT - must have good backups.

Disklabel type: gpt
Did you erase drive or create gpt drive with the required Windows partitions per link in post #5. Easier just to let Windows do its own partitioning.
No. This old SSD drive is still working. I can boot it to Ubuntu 18.04 desktop
How to do it?
