   I managed to install it. Don't ask how ... here what I got:   
      
   Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors   
   Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes   
   Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes   
   I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes   
   Disklabel type: gpt   
   Disk identifier: DF04D177-16CF-4EA3-A16E-B7D518694CB9   
      
   Device         Start       End   Sectors   Size Type   
   /dev/sda1       2048    718847    716800   350M EFI System   
   /dev/sda2     718848 252749823 252030976 120.2G Microsoft basic data   
   /dev/sda3  252749824 252766207     16384     8M BIOS boot   
   /dev/sda4  252766208 256974847   4208640     2G Microsoft basic data   
   /dev/sda5  256974848 340867071  83892224    40G Microsoft basic data   
   /dev/sda6  340867072 500117503 159250432    76G Microsoft basic data   
      
      
   gparted show the following though:   
      
   /dev/sda1 		ntfs   
   /dev/sda2		ntfs   
   /dev/sda3 		unknown   
   /dev/sda4 		linux-swap   
   /dev/sda5		btrfs	/   
   /dev/sda6		xfs	/home   
      
   So this looks good, right? Althought I'm still not able to boot with   
   windows 10 as an option ... but I can live with that as Leap 42.2 seems   
   to be pretty stable.   
      
   Thanks.
