How to convert an mbr legacy bios boot disk to uefi gpt mode with no data loss

The CU update has a great new too called mbr2gpt which converts legacy bios boot disks to uefi gpt format.

It works with virtual hard drives as well - so if you have e.g. a hyper-v gen 1 disk, this is the easy way to convert it to a gen 2 disk.

I will do steps for a vhd

Step 1 - make a copy of vhd (for real disk - an image backup) in case things go pearshaped.

Step 2 - attach vhd using disk management - here disk 2 is legacy bios





Step 3: shrink the OS drive (H here) to give room to write EFI partition. I actually shrank it a lot as I had no idea how much space it needed

Step 4: validate the install is suitable for conversion from an admin powershell or admin command prompt

Code:

mbr2gpt /disk:2 /validate /logs:c:\ /allowfullos[CODE]
 
 The /allowfullos switch allows you do this from normal Windows.
 
 If doing a real disk and it was your boot disk, you need to do it from a winpe environment (eg bootomt from a 15063 installation disk and pressing shit+f10)
 
 I recommend you create log files to directory of your choice - I choose C:\ as easiest to type.
 
 [u][b]Warning - if you omit the /disk switch it will do it on your boot disk by default!

 Step 5 - Do conversion
 
 [CODE]mbr2gpt /disk:2 /convert /logs:c:\ /allowfullos[CODE]

 Step 6 - examine drive and tidy up
 
 Look at drive in disk management

 You can see it does not delete old SRP (partition 1) 
 
 You can also see I shrank it a lot - not needed to do it so much of course.
 
 Both these are easily tidied up using minitool partition wizard :-

 Step 7 - the Acid Test - Does it work?
 
 Yes! 
 
 I created a new gen 2 hyper-v vm and it booted just fine as you can see.

 The whole conversion process only took a few minutes - minitool was the slowest part!
 
 This new tool is truly awesome.
