    Mbr2Gpt tool!


    Hi my name is Ahmed Malick,I've both boot options Legacy and UEFI available but when I change to UEFI mode it doesn't found any bootable drive. I think because my disk is MBR but it also doesn't boot USB. Anyways I want to convert disk from MBR to GPT so will MBR2GPT convert safely without losing data or damaging hard drive and how much time will it take to convert? Should I trust it or backup any data or create a system image. Please explain it.

    :)

    mbr2gpt tool and I wish to know why the
    validation failed?

    Thanks for your feedback Andre.

    The link below contains a video I was using to try and convert my MBR to GPT on my system drive..

    MBR2GPT - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Docs

    The video explains that the methods used in your suggestion will destroy data and that is why the new utility MBR2GPT is the recommended solution. Since this utility is new with the latest Fall Creators Update, it may need updating. I hope someone has more
    experience with it and can shed some light on why it fails for me.
