GPT disk conversion for both data drives and C drive


Macrium Rescue disk can be used to convert from MBR to GPT and vice versa without doing a fresh install of Windows.

1. Download Rescue6.1.1081X64.iso - Google Drive and use Rufus to create a bootable USB disk. Skip this step if you've already created the Macrium Rescue disk.
2. Download: BootEFI_Only-00-00.zip - Google Drive . Unzip to an external or an internal HD
   NOTE: This is a copy of the first 3 partitions of my current Windows 10 x64 (450MB Recovery, 100MB EFI and 16MB MSR)
3. Boot up Macrium Rescue disk and create a backup of your current Windows to another internal/external HD. It serves 2 purposes: you'd have a backup of your current Windows in case things go wrong and then use it to restore the C drive on the next steps.
4. Next, switch the BIOS to UEFI and use Macrium to restore the first 3 partitions downloaded in step 2 to your current MBR Windows. No need to convert or Format, Macrium will do it.
5. Again with Macrium, select the backup image from step 3, and copy back the C drive after the 3 partitions.
   After this step, you should have: 450MB, 100MB, 16MB and C drive (GPT partition scheme)
6. From Macrium, click on Fix the Windows Boot Problems
7. Reboot. Your Windows should be in UEFI mode.
