Windows 10: Safe to clean secondary disk with doccuments, desktop, videos etc to convert to from MBR to...

I am trying to convert my secondary hard drive to the GPT but it has all listed in the title and even a folder called 'WindowsApps' which i cant even access leading me to believe its important? I can create a backup clone of it using macrium reflect then delete all the volumes, convert to GPT then move everything back, is it as easy as that? Is it ok to not have the documents folder and all the others not on my pc while im converting it.

Convert only one partition on the disk from MBR to GPT

Step 2
Convert MBR to GPT without data loss

 

convert MBR to GPT disk

convert mbr to gpt

There is a way to convert mbr to gpt without data loss. clean command deletes all datas inside the disk, so dont use this command

boot with windows dvd , and get into command prompt

type diskpart , find the disk number , which is need to convert mbr to gpt

say disk number is 0

exit diskpart

type below command in command prompt

mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0

wait for some minutes to complete , once you get commpleted successfuly means, exit and close ,

shutdown the pc , remove windows dvd

important

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.
