    I Need To Change My MBR PC To GPT Based PC


    Hello All,
    In preparation of installing Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, I would like to change my old MBR based PC to a GPT based PC. What is the best way to accomplish this? I am already done converting all of my drives to GPT except my C: drive, do I change that before, during or after installing the new edition of Windows 10? My system is based on:

    Intel Haswell i5 4690
    Asus motherboard, Z-97 A
    Crucial 256 GB SSD

    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10 Security Update Bricked my AMD based PC and unable to re-install Windows 10 Pro due to GPT partition

    With this in mind I could convert the disk to MBR, then install Windows and all applications.

    NOT

    If he has UEFI GPT, you are not converting to a BIOS based PC with a MBR.

    Yes, he can after telling the BIOS to use the "Legacy Mode".
