    legacy mode to UEFI-MBR to GPT


    I would to know how easy it is to change Legacy Mode to UEFI and change MBR to GPT ?

    I remember changing another pc...is this the command ...

    C: \ windows \ system32>MBR2GPT.EXE / convert / allowfullos

    Have checked disk management and my Asus K31ADE pc is in Legacy Mode and MBR and cannot remember whether the above command has spaces or not..

    Thank you

    My OS is Windows 10 Pro 21H1 version 19043.1082 with latest updates

    I think that this tutorial should be able to help you with this task:

    You're probably thinking of this one:
    Convert Windows 10 from Legacy BIOS to UEFI without Data Loss
    - this command tends to be rather sensitive to disk layout.

    Feel free to browse and search the tutorial section e.g. using Google


    @warlin - how does that help with this thread? And is that defective link meant to be advertising?

    Before you begin, make sure you have a drive image just in case things go wrong.
    UEFI - GPT requires a UEFI BIOS and 64 bits OS

    I suggest you detach all other drives (SATA or power cable), boot from a Win 10 installation drive, launch a CMD window (Shift+F10) and run
    MBR2GPT /validate

    If it pass the test, run
    MBR2GPT /convert
