convert mbr not needed after diskpart clean command?
@NavyLCDR, you said in another thread:
I tested this and does not appear to be the case. Flash drive is GPT before and after the clean command is run.The clean command in diskpart automatically converts the drive to MBR. "Convert MBR" is never necessary after the "clean" command.

UEFI, all drives are GPT.

Thoughts? Maybe the command needs to be clean all? If so, that would be a lot slower so the convert mbr would be better.
