I am attempting to reinstall win 10 on my laptop and I received error 0x80300024. This is not the first time i've installed it on this laptop, but it is the first time I've seen this error.

For a clean install, none.
You want to start with a single blank partition on that drive.
are you trying to do a clean install? if so delete the current partitions and then just select the empty drive. windows 10 will create the proper partitions automatically
