    Need Help with MBR2GPT

    Hello,
    I'm running ver 2004 in legacy BIOS mode & trying to move to UEFI
    The \validate completed OK once I reduced MBR partitions to 3 (from 4). Then ran the \ convert and got the following:

    MBR2GPT: Attempting to convert disk 0
    MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk
    MBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytes
    MBR2GPT: Trying to shrink the OS partition
    MBR2GPT: Creating the EFI system partition
    MBR2GPT: Installing the new boot files
    MBR2GPT: Performing the layout conversion
    MBR2GPT: Migrating default boot entry
    MBR2GPT: Adding recovery boot entry
    MBR2GPT: Fixing drive letter mapping
    MBR2GPT: Conversion completed successfully
    Call WinReReapir to repair WinRE
    MBR2GPT: Failed to update ReAgent.xml, please try to manually disable and enable WinRE.
    MBR2GPT: Before the new system can boot properly you need to switch the firmware to boot to UEFI mode!
    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

    I'm lost as to what I should do next? Any help would be appreciated.
    Best,
    Mike
