    Copy & paste line by line and wait for the system response after each input

    Do not begin before I see the result from diskpart.

    diskpart
    sel disk 1
    list par
    exit
    Can you read this one?

    OK, let's go
    Just make sure that you get each line from the commands in #38

    I think, the best way to do this, is to copy everything to notepad and use
    cut & paste

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did not give you the command
    diskpart 1

    COPY & PASTE COPY & PASTE COPY & PASTE COPY & PASTE COPY & PASTE COPY & PASTE

    And here it is already after midnight. Will be back tomorrow

    And the 1st command is reagentc / disable !!!

    @ Dulcina - I have a clone of my C and F drives on Macrium Reflect

    Okay, I think I did everything as instructed. Here is what my Disk Management shows now. However, I have been to the BIOS setup several times, finally found a reference to UEFI, clicked on it, and saved. When I look at the System, however, it says I am still on Legacy. I could post screen shots of my BIOS setup, but I don't know how without using stitch and snip.

    @therealsimpsons,
    You still have not converted drive 1 to GPT, but you are booting from drive 1 which is great progress. As it stands now, mbr2gpt will fail on drive 1 because you now have 4 partitions on it. You may have enabled UEFI in your BIOS but it will not boot in UEFI mode because the drive was not converted to GPT which would have also created a FAT32 EFI System Partition (ESP) to boot from in UEFI mode.

    The next steps I would do is to disable the recovery environment, delete both recovery partitions on Drive 1 and then try mbr2gpt. Since @Pentagon has been walking you through everything, I will defer to them.

    You did not execute the command
    sel par 2
    delete partition override

    That is the reason why you have the 2nd recovery (1,03 GB) at the end!

    You also didn't do this:
    "mbr2gpt /validate /disk:1 /allowFullOS

    Only (!) if everything is OK (successful) run next command. Otherwise stop here!"


    Run

    reagentc /disable
    diskpart
    sel disk 1
    sel par 4
    delete partition override
    exit


    and
    cmd (admin)
    bcdedit

    Here is what I did, and the Disk Management after finishing. I know I screwed up because I didn't unplug the external drive H. Please send commands to change it. Thank you. Edit: I put a clearer shot of Disk Management in a reply.

    OK, we are ready to convert to gpt.
    run
    mbr2gpt /convert /disk:1 /allowFullOS


    Boot into BIOS and change to UEFI

    The rest will be done later
