Windows 10: convert my storage to GPT from MBR for Win 11

Hello,I wanted to convert my SSD and later on maybe my HDD to GPT from MBR, mostly because of the benefits and so that I can install Win 11. I already got it on my Laptop and I am happy and used to the new interface, so I wanted to update my PC as well.Changed the BIOS to UEFI and switched to secure boot as it is the only thing that I need, was unable to boot my PC anymore then, so switched it back and saw that my disks are not being recognized because there are MBR disks. Tried to change it via Diskpart first, did not work, then the AOMEI Partition Assistant to that I can backup and hopefully

:)

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.
