    I recently tried to install windows 10 on my iSSD on this laptop (ASUS Zenbook UX32VD) but I get a notification saying:
    windows can't be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style
    windows can't be installed to this disk. the disk may fail soon

    So i installed it to the hdd. after installing i noticed that the issd wasnt detected in file explorer. i think there is a problem with my issd, i dont know whether it's a software or hardware problem.
    Here are some screenshots that might be related to this problem.

    I want to use the iSSD as the disk for Windows 10
    Thanks

    It's a fairly common hardware issue with the issd sadly.

    Thanks for replying.
    I guess I cant do anything about the iSSD then :'(
    I think I might just upgrade the HDD to SSD but I dont know if any SSD is compatible with the UX32VD. I saw some videos saying that the size of the SSD should be 2.5" and thickness less than 7 mm for it to fit in properly in the laptop. Do you know whether most SSDs are within that dimension or only some of them are?
    Should I check every SSD's dimension before I buy it?

    You should check but 7mm is pretty common these days :)

    Yes snugly ;) the 850 evo is a good example of a solid, cheap 7mm drive.
