Convert MBR to GPT
One of the main challenges that we face while converting MBR to GPT is that conversion is possible from MBR to GPT, only if there are no partitions or volumes present in the disk – which makes it impossible to convert without data loss. I still don’t know why Microsoft hasn’t offered a simpler solution to this problem. Luckily there are some solutions that will help you in converting MBR to GPT, without data loss.
Before you start, it is in any case always a good idea to BACK UP YOUR DATA first to a safe place.
1. Convert MBR to GPT using Diskpart
This method you have to backup all your data and delete all partitions and volumes. Then use the DISKPART command.
Open command prompt and type in DISKPART and press Enter
Then type in list disk (Note down the number of the disk that you want to convert to GPT)
Then type in select disk number of disk
Finally, type in convert gpt.
