Windows MBR shown as unallocated

I am trying to install Arch along side my Windows 10 OS but my MBR partition table (not GPT) is not showing.
I have disabled quick boot and hibernation (powercfg.exe /hibernate off) under windows os.

[liveuser@localhost-live ~]$ sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda 

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1

Partition table scan:
  MBR: MBR only
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: not present

Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format
