    Seems your Recovery partition in your original build may not be properly configured. However, this seems to be a problem some experience. See: MBR2GPT Failed to Update ReAgent.xml on Windows 10?

    if it states 'enabled'

    please try this:

    in an elevated command prompt

    run

    reagentc /disable

    & if this is successful

    run

    reagent /enable

    if this is succesful also

    try

    MBR2GPT /validate /allowfullos

    to verify if the issue is resolved a you're ready to go for the conversion
