  1. Convert MBR to GPT with MBR2GPT


    In order to be compatibe with Windows 11(?) I must change following settings: Boot type: UEFI Disk partiton: GPT instead of MBR TPM Version: enabled in UEFI the tool MBR2GPT (already on the system as part of the Windows 10 Creators Update) does just that. my disk meets the conversion requirements (MBR2GPT validate) My question is: if I do the actual conversion from MBR to GPT will I loose data or OS? thanks in advance fot any answer. gabril

    How to convert an MBR disk into a GPT disk

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    This is an unexpected behavior, after you convert the disk from MBR to GPT, it shouldn’t convert back automatically, however you can try to convert the disk back to GPT format if you are on Windows 10 version 1703 or later using the inbuilt utility
    MBR2GPT.EXE.

    • Click on Start menu (Windows logo), type
      CMD.
    • Right click on Command prompt and select
      Run as administrator.
    • Type MBR2GPT /validate /AllowFullOS
    • Once the validation is successful, execute the following command and check the results.
    • Type MBR2GPT /Convert /AllowFullOS
    • Once the conversion is successful, you must boot the computer into BIOS and change the BIOS mode to
      UEFI.

    Disclaimer: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly.
    Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

    For more information about MBR2GPT utility, please refer to the article:

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks,

  3. convert MBR to GPT disk

    convert mbr to gpt

    There is a way to convert mbr to gpt without data loss. clean command deletes all datas inside the disk, so dont use this command

    boot with windows dvd , and get into command prompt

    type diskpart , find the disk number , which is need to convert mbr to gpt

    say disk number is 0

    exit diskpart

    type below command in command prompt

    mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0

    wait for some minutes to complete , once you get commpleted successfuly means, exit and close ,

    shutdown the pc , remove windows dvd

    important

    After the disk has been converted to GPT partition style, the firmware must be reconfigured to boot in UEFI mode.


    Make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the disk.
