    MBR2GPT

    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

    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.

    validation failed?

    MBR2GPT

    I have the latest version of Windows 10 16299.192 and I'm trying to use the MBR2GPT utility to change my system disk from MBR to GPT. The utility gives an error even though DiskPart Uniqueid shows an MBR ID. Does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong
    here? Thanks.
