Windows 10: How do I transfer my data from a mbr ssd to a gpt ssd

I bought a m.2 ssd to replace my sata ssd. I selected gpt when I was initializing it because I want to download windows 11 but when I cloned my old ssd to the new one, it was mbr, and 450 gb instead of a tb. I formatted it and got it back to gpt. How do I transfer my data without it going to mbr and going down to 450 gb?

Converting SSD file format from "GPT" to "MBR"

Hello y'all i just wanted to ask if there is any kind of way to convert your ssd format from "GPT" to "MBR" safely without losing any data? i would appreciate anybody who can answer me.

 

GPT vs MBR for SSD OS Disk ? (win7 install)

I do not understand.

GPT is designed almost exclusively to allow huge arrays. The genesis of windows useable GPT drives goes back to Windows XP x64.

UEFI does not require GPT to boot. UEFI is the BIOS, functionally. It runs before any disk is touched.

As far as booting, stick with MBR on your SSD. There is no 2TB+ SSD on the market, and you're unlikely to have a RAID 0 array that large. Windows 7 defaults to MBR, for so many good reasons it isn't funny.


I haven't the slightest idea about where you linked UEFI and GPT. If you've got a large array as your boot drive you might have to cross this bridge, but given the difficulty I'd stay as far away from it as possible. MBR isn't old, it's still the primary windows drive formatting for a darn good reason.
