Hi Michael,



I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

This method you have to backup all your data and delete all partitions and volumes. Then use the
DISKPART command.

• Open command prompt and type in DISKPART and press Enter
• Then type in list disk (Note down the number of disk you want to convert to GPT)
• Then type in select disk number of disk
• Finally type in convert gpt.

Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

 

Converting a MBR disk to a GPT disk

This BS Microsoft stop forcing us to convert from MBR to GPT

-> The MBR scheme will work for disks up to 2 TBytes.

I don't care whether it might boot up quicker

-> MS does not claim that GPT boots up faster than MBR.
