GPT for OS move?
Problem: Can't use Refresh on my MBR boot drive because of UEFI/GPT restrictions. Alternative 1: It seems that none of the partition managers, commercial or Win-based will change the current C:\ MBR to GPT without wiping out the disk content. I have three partitions on the c: drive. If I clean the partitions (after backup) with Win 10 running, is enough of it in memory to allow a removal of the boot drive content and change the drive to GPT?? Alternative 2: would be to clean an available drive, apply a GPT boot table and use a utility to transfer the OS. Alternative 3: would be to clean a drive set it to GPT and do a clean install of v. 1511 (build 10586.318) that I have on hand. Then I'd have to manually install all the "lost" apps from the old drive.
I'm sure I'm missing some logical procedure here. Anyone out there have ideas? I'd be very grateful!
