How to convert Windows 10 GPT disk to MBR with re-install?
Hello friends,
My current config:
Laptop = HP Pavilion sleekbook 14
BIOS = UEFI
HDD = 500GB with GPT style
OS = Windows 10
I want to rebuild it with MBR partition style (for experimental reasons) and took complete backup in external drive so I do NOT need to preserve data for this method.
What I did so far:
1) Prepared 16GB pen drive with Windows 10 using Rufus by choosing option of "MBR partition type for Legacy BIOS"
2) took complete backup of my laptop
What I will do next:
1) Goto BIOS and change BIOS to "legacy" and disable "secure boot"
2) Boot with USB drive
3) Press shift+F10
4) run diskpart and list / select / "clean" and then run "convert mbr" and continue with the installation.
Will the above method work? if not, please advise. I need to guide someone remotely who doesn't have another laptop hence being very careful before starting the installation.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
