Windows 10: dual EFI entries after GPT conversion

For reasons too lengthy to detail here, I was unable to use MBR2GPT for converting my current boot disk. Instead, I used Hasleo Disk Clone to clone the disk to another SSD while also converting it to GPT. This worked fine and the new drive correctly shows up as GPT with the shiny new MSR and EFI partitions. However, it left the protected/system EFI directory intact on the drive. My UEFI has been set to UEFI only with CSM=Disabled and yet I can still see entries for both EFI instances. Booting to the GPT partition works fine, but booting to the EFI directory fails. Is it possible and safe to

Converting MBR to GPT for EFI boot?

What you say is true enough. However, creating the EFI partition is covered in his step number 3.

 

Converting MBR to GPT for EFI boot?

@Mystere
Sorry but did you read the steps I posted ?. What do you mean by: It may boot up, but won't be EFI ? How else does it boot up with a GPT disk ? Here's the screen shot

 

MBR to GPT Conversion

This is the Microsoft instructions for conversion MBR2GPT - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Docs you need to understand the process before you start.

I presume you mean enable TPM and it may be that part of secure boot requires the bios to be in UEFI mode and not legacy, before you can change the TPM setting.

Sounds like your system is set in legacy mode and using MBR. To use UEFI the boot disk has to be set to GPT.

Sorry forgot the last bit. The conversion keeps all data in tact.
