Windows 10: How to convert an MBR disk into a GPT disk

why does windows 10 32 bit(x86) clean install as mbr when i pre-format the hard drive as gpt?

is there a solution or is that the default and only option for installation? i've contacted asus

who makes my motherboard to check for uefi details and everything i can think of to ask them!

their reply is that the memory is the cause---i have 8 gb and not 4gb! their other reply is that microsoft

has a patch or solution for the problem which i did not see or find on microsoft's site! i've tried everything

that i can think of including changing all settings in the asus bios and trying every way to change the

hard drive to gpt and hoping it stays gpt after windows 10 32 bit(x86) is installed! but, every time i install it

the windows 10 changes it during the install! are there any links or answers that will truly solve this mystery?

thanx ahead of time to any persons that answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the disk has been converted to GPT partition style, the firmware must be reconfigured to boot in UEFI mode.


Make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the disk.

Converting a MBR disk to a GPT disk

This BS Microsoft stop forcing us to convert from MBR to GPT

-> The MBR scheme will work for disks up to 2 TBytes.

I don't care whether it might boot up quicker

-> MS does not claim that GPT boots up faster than MBR.
