    I suspect this may be due to the C drive (the disk) is MBR but my machine motherboard is running uefi, if this is the case, can you please help to resolve it.

    Thanks

    Aomei backup


    I am trying Aomei backup.
    When I click on the disc backup it appears that both MBR and C:\ are included but the next step, even after adding the word add, seems to include only C:\.
    Does anyone know if this invisible MBR is included in the back up?
    I also would like to ask if it is possible to run a disc backup without scheduling.
    And lastly, is the back up verified?
    Thank you

    Aomei backup


    A disk backup will backup the contents of the entire disk...you do not need to schedule backups (if schedule is checked, uncheck it) & the backup is not verified unless you have indicated so (menu, setting, other, check auto check backup). This will verify current and all future backups (recommended).

    GPT disk conversion for both data drives and C drive


    Macrium Rescue disk can be used to convert from MBR to GPT and vice versa without doing a fresh install of Windows.

    1. Download Rescue6.1.1081X64.iso - Google Drive and use Rufus to create a bootable USB disk. Skip this step if you've already created the Macrium Rescue disk.
    2. Download: BootEFI_Only-00-00.zip - Google Drive . Unzip to an external or an internal HD
      NOTE:
      This is a copy of the first 3 partitions of my current Windows 10 x64 (450MB Recovery, 100MB EFI and 16MB MSR)
    3. Boot up Macrium Rescue disk and create a backup of your current Windows to another internal/external HD. It serves 2 purposes: you'd have a backup of your current Windows in case things go wrong and then use it to restore the C drive on the next steps.
    4. Next, switch the BIOS to UEFI and use Macrium to restore the first 3 partitions downloaded in step 2 to your current MBR Windows. No need to convert or Format, Macrium will do it.
    5. Again with Macrium, select the backup image from step 3, and copy back the C drive after the 3 partitions.
      After this step, you should have: 450MB, 100MB, 16MB and C drive (GPT partition scheme)
    6. From Macrium, click on Fix the Windows Boot Problems
    7. Reboot. Your Windows should be in UEFI mode.
