    GPT drive

    I just upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have software installed on an SSD and data on a 4TB second hard drive. Somehow, in the upgrade, my data drive turned in to a GPT Protective Partition. I would like to return it to a Primary Partition
    without losing the terabytes of data on it. Any suggestions?

    changing a disk drive from mbr to gpt

    If you have Windows 10 loaded on an MBR disk drive can that drive be changed to a GPT disk drive?

    changing a disk drive from mbr to gpt

    An Important note, by changing from mbr to gpt will reformat the whole drive. All file save will be wipe.
