  1. Cannot find room for the EFI system partition when trying to do mbr2gpt


    I've been trying to convert my system partition from mbr to gpt but every time I do try it gives this error:Cannot find room for the EFI system partition. MBR2GPT: Conversion failedNo tutorials in YouTube match my problem so I am asking here. I was also wondering if the paragon partition manager is a safe way to convert my partition from mbr to gpt.

    MBR2GPT fails with error - Cannot find room for the EFI system partition.

    Regarding this image, which partition should I extend?

    The problem wasn't that I didn't have enough space to update, it was the MBR2GPT error: "cannot find room for the EFI system partition"

    MBR2GPT fails with error - Cannot find room for the EFI system partition.

    Hi,

    Would love to get some help

    I'm trying to install the new Win10 update but then I get this error: "windows can't be installed because this pc has an unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware"

    Afterward I run MBR2GPT run it in WINPE but I get this error: "cannot find room for the EFI system partition"

    I have two partitions on this disk: 1. System. 2. Recovery and 100mb unallocated.

    When I try to shrink volume on Disk Management I get 0 size of available shrink space in MB.

    The disk has plenty of free space though.

    Any ideas?
